Office Pro 2003 Trial edition unable to install

[masterdjm]

I have been trying to install the trial Office Pro 2003 that came with the
Small Bz Accounting Trial, and the installation always stalls half way
through. What can I do to make sure the installation proceeds normally?

Try doing a repair install, then try the update again:

Method 1 – Open Word, go to Help – Select Detect and Repair

or use Method 2 -

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. Click the Office program that you want to repair, and then click Change.
4. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, click Reinstall or Repair,
and then
click Next.
5. In the Reinstall or Repair Office dialog box, click Detect and Repair
errors in my
Office installation, and then click Install.
6. When the repair process is finished, run the update again.

Most likely you will need to have your Office CD handy.

I don't get an error. All that happens is that installation stalls. I have
erased the MSO cache folder on installation as suggested in a previous
query, but that does not fix the problem. If i close the setup dialog box,
the program gets unistalled automatically.

Is there a way to an administrative installation of the program; I remmeber
having done this previously in the past for a windows XP installation on
another machine.

Doesn't allow me to do a repair, it says a previous installation program is
running. If I close the setup dialog box, it cancels the installation- which
never occurred!!
