How do you install Office 97 on WindowsMe??

[Thomas Beutler]

I have recently had to erase my whole hard drive. I had
lost the original copy of Office 97. So I purchased a used
copy through ebay. The problem is that it goes through an
update check instead of simply installing the program. I
have tried a number things but it does the same thing. How
do I bypass the update check and install my software?? Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you have bought an upgrade. You will need the disk from a
previous version to qualify for the upgrade. It doesn't need to be
installed, you just need the disk during installation of the upgrade.
