I'm installing a school package that has installed cleanly before under XP
and under Vista. Now I want to install it temporarily on the XP machine
while the Vista machine gets reincarnated.

I get an error code 0x00000643 which indicates a registry problem. Google
tells me all about registry cleaners that will fix this problem, but all
the
MVP's recommend against using registry cleaners. What other options do I
have?

See Patrick's answer. The "Real Truth MVP" is neither real, nor tells the
truth, or is an MVP. His name is Chris Butts and if you want to know what
kind of validity he has, just Google PCButts1.

Other options include manually going through the registry and deleting
leftover associated keys, and contacting the support group for the package.

More information on the identity of the package and where the information
pointing to a registry problem came from, would probably be helpful.

Don't listen to the others who say registry cleaners are "snake oil".
Download CCleaner from here http://www.ccleaner.com/ install it and when you
run it select the registry icon on the left to clean your registry. Let it
fix all but choose to backup when prompted.

You could install Erunt, then print out a copy of how to recover the
registry it fails in the event of a catastrophic registry boot failure.
Erunt saves a copy of the registry on reboot, which can be recovered if it
all goes wrong.
I have in the past used ccleaner
But the primary place to asertain what is going wrong is with the support
from that school package

You are confusing ads that appear on Google with the search engine. Ads
are known to be biased. :-)

Give us the complete text of the error message as well as any pertinent
information on this "school package." We should be able to guide you to
a solution.

FWIW, I would imagine most registry "cleaners" wouldn't address your
particular problem anyway.

Call the package's tech support and have them tell you how to isolate
the problem and then fix it.

Can you please post a complete copy of the Error Report?

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any more than 48
hours ago.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
