Can't install Office XP, Any suggestions folks!!

[David Pollard]

I have just bought a new laptop with Windows XP
installed. I have updated XP from the Microsoft site and
have made sure that my Norton antivirus is up to date. I
am now in the process of installing my software.
Unfortunately when I get part way through installing
Office XP I get an error message "Error 1305. Setup can
not read file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10
\ACWZDAT.MDT" Has anyone got any suggestions. I have
looked at my CD and it seems to be undamaged. I do still
have my old laptop at the moment.
Thanks
