Problem Installing Front Page 2002

[of Gurnee, Illinois@discussions.microsoft.com Ken of Gurnee, Illinois]

I'm trying to install this on my desktop computer. Everything's fine until
its halfway thru the install and gives a pop up dialog box about how it
cannot open registry Key
H KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\giffile\shell\open\ddeexec

It then uninstalls what its done -- and that's it.

Is this having anything to do with McGaffe Software Suite of firewall, etc.?
Something else?

I appreciate a direct email to K...@Arnoldforyou.com since I believe it
hopeless to find your answer in all of this *(#&*(% maze. Its already enough
that I had purchased this software from Microsoft and now cannot install it
on one of my PCs. Kinda makes you want some competition here, don't it???

Thanks for your reply via my email address.
