I had no problems installing Office 2000 on Windows 2000. There are no switches I know of that would prevent you from installing Office 2000. Sounds like in your case the file containing the reg number or the cd key is corrupted, or perhaps it was written down incorrectly, or maybe you are simply entering it incorrectly (caps on???)... I would contact MS and see if they can advise you how to verify the numbers you are using are the numbers on the cd... Good Luck...

To continue with Answer #1 explaination. Make sure the CD Key you have is for the same version you are installing. Off2K Premium Key doesn't work with Off2K Pro or Standard. A Key from a retail CD, will not work with an OEM CD.
As long as the CDis good and you have the proper key, their is nothing special to do to install Off2k On Win2k (except local admin rights).
