Hi,
restore the system from a ghost image not containing microsoft office. The XP pro image has all of the updates to microsoft xp pro.
Update to office pro 2007 and add patches. This was our solution no more dll errros when running the sbs audit tools.
The cause of the dll error , just update an office 2007 to office 2010 and add the office patches.
This caused the dll errors on all of our desktops and laptops while running the sbs audit tools. We found in all cases the update of office 2007 would generate the errors on our setups.
Just to make sure this was the cause we installed office 2007 and updated to 2010 xp pro and added all patches on our ghost image.
Inserted the sbs tool audit cd and tried to save a ms word tech or business audit and the dll file not found appears and unable to run other ms office products.
We also tried to uninstall office 2007 and update to 2010 but the dll error still appears. The ghost image works if installing office 2010 without an office 2007 install
my suggstion would be to never update a office 2007 but run office 2010 since its a much better product.
This also improves on performance if you never update office 2007 , this helps more than anything. 
Regards,
Harry
