Office 97 setup will not run, help

Office 97 setup will not run.

The applications are installed on my old machine with an XP SP2 upgrade. The
apps run fine, however I tried to use the control panel 'add/remove' to add
the office assistant to Word. Clicking on add/remove button displays an
hourglass for 30 seconds then does nothing.

I tried inserting the CD, and double clicking on setup.exe, and I get an
hourglass for about 30 seconds then it does nothing.

The CD works fine on a different machine.

I am logged in as administrator, but I wonder if there is some privilege
that is being blocked for the Office 97 package. Where would I look?

The individual Office 97 programs run fine.

I also tried copying the CD to a seperate partition and tried to run the
setup.exe. no joy.

Any ideas? (please don't say upgrade).
