Upgrading from Office XP to Office 2003 professional edition

[DHaviator]

Hi,
I have bought a full copy of Office Professional 2003 to upgrade Office XP
and when trying to run set up I receive the following message:
"Microsoft office Outook 2003 must be installed before you can install
Business Contact Manager for Outlook. Install outlook from CD1 then start
business contact manager for Outlook setup again"
This seems a strange message because I have run CD1 and I don't have an
option to install anything!
I have Office XP loaded on my machine and it doesn't included Business
Contact Manage (as far as I can tell). Outlook is configured on my computer
and I was hoping to upgrade it to Outlook 2003 with all the associated
programs mainly because I need the added security features associated with
2003 Exchange Server.
As anyone any ideas why I cannot procede with this install?

Thanks

You need to go back to the Office 2003 CD#1 and firure out why nothing
appears to have been installed. Running setup should have provided a listing
of available programs. Something is amiss here.

You did select upgrade at the start if the installation?

Hi,
According to the instructions I should have received a message saying ,
'upgrade', 'full install' or 'custom'. I only received the message displayed
in my post - nothing else - the install wizard gave me no other option but to
press ok to quit. Seems I have a bit of a problem if nobody has seen a
message like this.

Never seen it - as I said; something major is wrong. Have no idea on a fix
though. Could be a bad #1 CD.

Where did you buy this cd from?
