I have installed office disk one and two, and have rebooted to have in finish install. I am using win2000 pro. When I boot the system the getting ready to install window comes up than displays message:

Error 1706, No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. The windows installer cannot continue.

Office is working and I can open files etc.. When this message comes up I put the CD in but it does not see it it seems.

See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q253/7/68.ASP

It addresses this exact problem, but it's too long to reproduce in full here.

Here's the good stuff, though:

RESOLUTION
If this problem occurs, follow these steps:

Close all of the error messages shown above.

Leave the correct Microsoft Office 2000 CD in your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

Start Microsoft Office 2000 Setup either by attempting to use the "install on first use" component that you previously attempted to use, or by running Microsoft Office 2000 Setup from the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel. Or, attempt to use the clip art that you previously attempted to use.

If the correct CD is in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive when the Windows installer starts running, the problem described above does not occur.
