im getting an error: "setup requires a newer version of windows"

im using xp sp3 not sure whats causing this, ive looked on MSKB & they say the problem is from not using SP2+ for xp.. but like i said im using XP SP3 (which its shown up as in windows)

is there anythng required for it to run properly? im very cautious about removing stuff with nlite, so im really not sure about this i slim my source down alot, office 2003 works fine

I'd try rolling back to SP2, installing and reloading SP3.

ive tried both SP2 & SP3 office 2007 requires atleast sp2.. so i cant go further back than that
