Did you uninstall any Office Trial & Activation Assistant, then reboot,
before installing your paid for version?

Hi. .I am still unable to install..

I uninstalled the trial version of Office that was installed by HP on this
new PC. and rebooted.

The same following error messgae comes up when installing 2003.
Ïnstallation error: File not found

A required unstallation file CS561404.CAB could not be found

Original Installation source required:
If you installed Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 from a CD, please
insert you CD ..etc
Once you have located your installation source click OK.

So I clicked OK....nothing.

I find the CAB file in the CD file list...still nothing.

Your help would be really apreciated.

Thanks Steve

Try copying the CD contents to a temporary folder on the C: drive and
then run the install from ther.
