can't install update

[MichaelWest]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I can't seem to install the update for Office for Mac. When I download it I get a window that shows the options for what drive I can install to. ALL of them are X'd out telling me I can't install anywhere. I know what drive my woftware is installed in but is there a way to find the software and see what drive it's installed in. I don't knwo how to force it to any drive and having them X'd out leaves me no options. HELP!
