Error 25090 when opening Microsoft office

Here is the problem. I tried to install Microsoft Office 2003 in my Windows XP computer. There was no error message when I tried to install it, but when I ran the program, a pop up message saying "Error 25090" appeared.

I tried to search it on the internet but nothing works. Tried re-installing it and also upgrade my Service Pack from 2 to Service Pack 3.

Is this an issue with Office 2003 and XP? It works in my laptop running Windows Vista.

Your mechanism concern more often than not occurs when the previous Microsoft Office workings are damaged. To rectify the thorough fault, I recommend that you yourself fit the update.
For your easiness, I have scheduled the steps below:
 
1. Please download the update to the desktop.
2. Security Update for Excel 2003 (KB905756)
3. Double click the downloaded update to install them 
 
• Note: make sure your Office 2003 CD accessible as you can be incited to  place  it in the CD drive . After concluding the above steps, please attempt to admission the Microsoft Update site once more to observe whether you have productively installed the update.
 
Thanks and regards.

You may encounter this error on Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Office 2007. When the error is triggered, you may receive something like this: “Error 25090. Office Setup encountered a problem with the Office Source Engine, system error: -2147023836. Please open SETUP.CHM and look for “Office Source Engine” for information on how to resolve this problem.” There are several reasons why this error happens.

One of the several reasons for triggering “error 25090” is if two people installed Microsoft Office on the same machine. Another reason for this error is if both installations were performed using the AllUsers=”” parameter to set the installation for the installing user account only.

Another reason for this error is when both people were prompted to remove files that were copied locally at the end of the installation but both people didn’t remove the files. To fix the problem, just insert your Microsoft Office 2003 setup CD on your optical drive then wait for setup to start automatically.

If setup didn’t start automatically, start Windows Explorer then right-click your optical drive or the Microsoft Office 2003 CD and select “Explore.” Locate “Setup.exe” on the CD and double-click it to start setup. After setup starts, click to cancel setup and then exit setup.

The reason for doing this is that setup fixes the error condition when it is first invoked that’s why you don’t have to complete the setup program.
