error msg launching Office Test Drive

[Guest]

I keep getting this error message when I go to launch any of the
applications in Office Test Drive: it says the drive it was installed on is a
read-only volume, and it should be reinstalled on a read and write
volume. This is new. I don't know what it means. Any leads would be
appreciated--thanks for your help.

Did you install it as an administrator in the Applications folder of
your startup drive?

If not, how and where did you install it?

If you're trying to run it from the disk image that opened when you
downloaded the test drive, you can't. You have to drag the Microsoft Office
2004 folder to your desktop, generally the Applications folder on your
startup disk. If you dragged it instead to your desktop or anywhere else on
in user (home) folder, and you have FileVault on, turn it off. Or where did
you put it?
