Office Upgrade from Network CD

XP SP-2. Office SBE 2003.

I just bought a laptop that does not have an in-built CD-ROM drive. I
can, however, map to a drive on my network.

I have legitimate, Full versions of Office (97 & Premium). I have Upgrade
versions of Office XP and Office 2003.

I'd like to install Office 2003 directly. When I run the Upgrade CD it
asks me for the location of the previous version. Despite having copied
files from the other CDs onto C drive, it won't pick them up. Likewise,
the mapped drive is not present in the drop-down list.

Is there any way in which I can install Office 2003 Upgrade directly from
a mapped CD-ROM drive?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,


Glm
