windows installer starts when opening Outlook email

[Guest]

we run WIndows Server for Small Business 2003.
Originally a couple years ago we installed Office 2000. then Office XP. most
recently Office 2003. the error message that opens when you click to open
most emails is, windows installer opens, then "offce 2000 was not properly
installed for terminal server." its actually 3 overlaid messages that open
repeatedly throughout the workday.
will uninstalling office 2000 in add/remove programs solve the problem? we
only use Office 2003. if so, it wont screw up the office 2003 installation
will it?
thanks for any help in advance.

removing it might help - I would repair the 2003 install after its removed,
just to be safe. repairing it now might help if you don't want to remove
2000.
