If the workplace computer is running NT or 98 then get a copy of the install you used on the workplace computer, as the install you downloaded is likely damaged, it happens, the biggest problem is one of the link Dlls is missing on the front end, too much work finding which one, and likely it's in compressed , if you have a program that can open it , you can pull the frontend off the work install and replace the front end on the download. But be sure to read carefully the error messages you aregetting when you attempt to install it now , as there are times when your configuration can alter installs , and damage your machine if certain installs are forced.
Good luck
P.S. download it again and make sure you are getting the version for 98,and NOT Linix or Mac, as certain download sites are somewhat confusing as to which version you are getting

Hi KC, asuming the bith your computer are Win 98, there could be some other files / dlls missing from your work PC. Go to the download site & check for requirnments, Also download latest upgrade from microsoft..In your IE browser, click "Windows Update", it will connect & offer you options to get the latest upgrades / patches.

First update your w98 from Microsoft's Win Update site to most recent version of w98 and then try to install your software again. Could be also a download error (must download again or use the version that worked on the workplace machine).
