| When trying to install Office 2003 over OfficeXp in WindowsXPsp2, I

| errors. I managed to go through the three errors, then came the fourth:
| "error 1923, Service: office source engine OSE could not be installed".
| Following KB Q903772, I copied OSE.exe to its destination and checked the
| service with Services.msc The OSE entry was there but the start-up type
| field is empty. I tried to change its start type to "manual" but failed
with
| the fifth error: "The registry key for this service is missing". I think
it
| was caused by a wrongly deleted key. How can I restore the key for the
| service?
|
| Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
