The Windows Installer service cannot update one or more protected Windows files.

i got this error while installing windows suite on a netbook. its caused from a missing front-page extension.

you will need to download this (fp40ext.cab) file. this file can be found on a windows xp cd also in the i386 folder.
install 7-zip. here is the link: http://www.7-zip.org/
extract the extract the contents of fp40ext.cab
copy the fp4autl.dll to "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\"
right click the file and go to the 7-zip option and click "extract here". you may have to do a restart here.

after that, you can continue with the installation of microsoft office
