Can't Install Office XP Standard version 2002

[Guest]

I recently bought a new computer with Windows XP
professional. I previously have bought MS Office XP
Standard and have loaded on my 2nd computer. When I try
to install this on the Windows XP Professional I get "
Setup failed to locate a valid qualifying product on your
machine. Please select a drive where a qualifying
product can be found." Then if I select the C: drive I
get Error 1608 " setup unable yo locate a qualifing
product"

How can I load on my computer so I have access,
powerpoint etc.?

Thanks, Bill

You have an upgrade licence and no qualifying product (either Office 97 or
2000) - *but*, and perhaps more pertinently - if the two systems are of the
same type (i.e. both desktops or both portables) then you would be in
violation of the EULA which only makes provision for installation on two
devices /if they are of differing types/.

So, if they are different, then you need to find the qualifying product you
used to install Office on the first system.

If they are the same you need to purchase a second licence (and find the
qualifying product you used on the first).
