Installation is forbidden by system policy

Hi,
I'm (re)installing HP psc 1210 printer/scanner, and after
installing some parts of software (install shows 63%), I'm
getting

"The installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact
your system administrator"

The caption of this message is

msiexec.exe -i aiodrv.msi -l* "c:\Program Files\Hewlett-
Packard\Digital Imaging\hpomsi_log_do1.txt"

And the log file pretty much contains just
this "forbidden" message.

I'm working under Administrator, Win2k pro, sp4.
I tried to change LocalPolicies\SecurityOptions\Unsigned
driver and Unsigned non-driger installation to "Silently
Succeed" - the same thing... After I connect USB cable
with this partial 63% software install, scanner part of
printer does not work from HP software.

HP online support pretty much said it is not their
problem, if it is some "policy" thing. :(

Anything else I can try? Thanks!
 
I do not know if this will assist

this was the reference to forbidden
Value Name: DisableBrowse
Value Data Types: REG_DWORD
Description: If this value exists and is set to "1", users are forbidden
from browsing to locate installer sources. Also, the "Use feature from:"
combo box for direct input is locked the "Browse..." button is disabled. See
the source resiliency topic in the Windows Installer SDK for more details on
source browsing.

Thanks,
I already looked through this article - the interesting
thing is, I dont have
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Insta
ller at all...
I have only
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\
and inside it only SystemCertificates folder...

I thought that maybe windows installer (that was supposed
to be a part of Win2k, as far as I know) is corrupted or
something, downloaded it (InstMsiW.exe for win2k/NT) from
microsoft, but it would not try to install - saying that
the service already installed...

And I do have msiexec.exe (in \winnt\system32) - it says V
2.00.2600.1183

Did not have time to work on it, but next time maybe I
should try just to manually add the reg entries...
