Problem installing MS Office 200 Std Upgrade to new XP machine

[B McDevitt]

I want to install my MS Office2000 Std Upgrade to my new
Windows XP machine. When I place the cd into the drive,
its says says I only have an upgrade version. My machine
has Works installed by the OEM and my MS Office2000 ran
fine on my old PC. I was sure that was an upgrade from
Works.

How can I load my MS Office2000 Std to my new machine, I
have a Dell Dimension 4550.

Find the CD that had Works on it from the old PC and put it in the CD drive
when Office asks for the qualifying product. Once it is verified, you can
put the Office 2000 CD back in and complete the installation.
