Well, I still get the error

I removed all the .NET framework-related entries from the Add/Remove.
Then, I installed a fresh .NET framework version 2, from Microsoft's website.
(I have to have some version of the .NET, as the location from where I install Office is an application that cannot run without it.).
Then I tried to install Office 2007, and got the exact same error.
If you think that the only option I have is to install the Office without ANY .NET framework installed, then I would have to get one of my Administrators to get me a CD of the installation.
If that's the case, please let me know.
If you have any other suggestions, I'm listening.
