Try the office cd on another computer and see if you get the same results.

You may have a bad file on the cd or a scratch in the wrong place if the cd does not install on any computer. Return/replace the cd if you find that this is so.

This is an old issue, about a year old. And I have had the same problem back in April. Are you absolutley sure that you have all the current updates and SP1 on your system and then attempting the work around from Microsoft?

And before you attempt these steps again, try one thing. Copy the contents of the cd to a new folder on your hard drive and make absolutely sure that it sucessfully completes a copy. This ensures that the disk is in good condition.

here are the steps again.
