Error 1608 setup failed to locate a valid qualifying product

[Denise]

I purchased office xp standard upgrade (new),to upgrade
from win 98 2nd edition. My first problem with setup was
error 25506 ASYCFILT.DLL old version. I followed the fix
of article 301064 to repair that problem. I now have error
1608 setup failed to locate a valid qualifying product on
your machine. Please select the drive where a qualifying
product can be found. I typed in the product key from the
back of the CD box but still received the same error. I
followed the resolution of article 300655, but still can
not complete installation. Please help.

I think I fixed my own problem, I left the product key blank and pressed next. Installation is now complete.

Nope false alarm, the installation was complete but I

cannot open any files until I enter a product key number.
I keep entering this stupid 25 digit yellow product key
number, but it still can not find the drive where a
qualifying product can be found. Gosh darn it this is
driving me mad. I think I going to throw this computer out
the window and buy an apple macintoch. Windows suck.

an office upgrade will work with another office edition -
not an operating system
You need an earlier version of office with the install media
