I had similar problems with the installer roll back and found it to be related to the type of Profile that was selected in the Custom Install Wizard. "Apply PRF" didn't work. However, I see you are trying to do a Chain Install. I have tried this with the Service Pack files located on a CD and it has failed. Somewhere on one of the forums (I forget which one) it was indicated that Chain Installs do NOT work when the install files are located on a CD. The KB 902988 says the Office CD files should be located on a network share.

What's the group permission number for Authenticated Users when using Regini.exe? MS Knowledge Base has a partial listing of numbers that relate to users and perms. "How to Use Regini.exe to Set Permissions on Registry Keys - Article ID 237607" (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;237607) Numbers 7, 8, 9 & 10 are World, which is "Users". I don't believe that is the same as Authenticated Users.
