What works
Word, Excel, and Powerpoint install without any error messages.
All three programs start up fine.
What does not
If Access is included in the install, the installer gives an error message
about being unable to register accwiz.dll (bug #3689) at the end. Trying
to start Access gives an error message about there being no license for it
on the machine.

Additional Comments
I'm rating it silver because of the problems installing Access; Word, Excel and Powerpoint install without any problems. Note that my rating is for the installer only; I did not test any of the installed programs beyond starting them.

Unfortunately, only an archived version of the article is around. Luckily, the article was archived well.
The article has quite a detailed walk through of getting it all working.

Okay. U need: accwiz.dll; msjet35.dll,msjet40.dll - put them in C:\\windows\system32
After it Access will install. And will work :D
