Office 2003 Eval. Kit won't run

Hi all,
I've just installed Office 2003 Evaluation Kit under Win XP Pro. All the files seem to be there, the Start menu shortcuts are there, but when I try to run an Office application I get a great big nothing. I've tried using the Start menu, double-clicking the files directly withing the folder, and double-clicking Office documents. Clicking on outlook.exe, I get an 'Application Error': 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application'. Everything else I get absolutely nothing.

Thanks,

Geoff

Try removing and reinstalling Office. if that does not work, then try using
the correct option from the Add/Remove programs under Control Panel.

Thanks for the info Milly. I did try both of those things, without success. Interestingly, I tried installing the kit on Win 2000 (I have a dual-boot system) and it works perfectly.
