Here's what Robin Walker replied:

I suggest that you check the Security Permissions on that registry key.

In regedit, navigate to the key named above, right click on the folder
symbol beside the key name, and select "Permissions", and look at the state
of the Permissions.

After several weeks of attempts, I'm still having a problem installing
Security Update for Office XP (KB873352). I am logged in as administrator.
Initializing occurs, but installing does not. Can anyone advise me on how to
correct this? Thanks...

My registry keys were fine, but the update failed because PA56401.cab
was missing from MSOcache. Putting the installer CD in the CD drive
drive solved the problem. Why couldn't the update asked for it instead
of just failing? The recent problems with WGA and Office update are the
best advertisement for Linux.
