How to install MS Office 2010 on Windows XP Service Pack 2

Recommendation: Upgrade to Service Pack3

If you have Windows XP SP 2, and you are not able to install MS Office 2010 because it requires SP3, then just follow the steps below:

• Start => Run => Type "Regedit" and Enter

• GOTO  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => System => CurrentControlSet => Control =>Windows

• On the right frame you will see "CSDVersion", Right-click and Modify

• Now change the value 200 to 300 and OK.

• Close and Reboot

To check after reboot, Right-click on My Computer => properties , In "System" it will show you Service pack 3 instead of Service pack 2... if somehow this doesn't work then follow the above steps but this time choose ControlSet001, ControlSet002 and ControlSet003 instead of CurrentControlSet ... this will probably work!!!

Now that you have version number of  SP3,  you can Install MS Office 2010...
