Can A97 Be Installed On A WinXP Machine?

[Salad]

It used to work on my WinXP machine. A while back I had both A97 and
A2K on my XP machine. I removed A2K and somehow that killed the ability
to export text files in A97. I didn't realize all I had to do was
reregister the MSText35.Dll. So I uninstalled A97 and got the "No
License" message when I reinstalled it. Then I uninstalled Access,
renamed the Hatten.TTF, and now the thing installs all the way to the
end and burps "HTMLMARQ.OCX is unable to register itself." and I'm told
the setup failed.

I go to control pannel and attempt to remove Office97 and am told that
the OFF97PRO.STF file is corrupted. So I can't get rid of it.

I also made a misteke. I installed Office97 to C:\ProgramFiles\Office
and also C:\ProgramFiles\Office97. 2 folders, same info.

I can handle the Hatten problem. I've read something about the OCX
problem but in google but the procedure to do it made it appear that
formatting the hard drive, reinstalling Windows and then the programs
would be a better option.

Is there a work around for installing A97 on WinXP so that I don't get
the HTMLMARQ.OCX registration error so that it will install? Can I
simply delete the 2 office folders and not worry that the registry will
be flaky? Any idea on the OFF97POR.STF file message is?
