Office 2003 File does not work when downloaded

Please check the Office 2003 Demo file. It must be corrupted. I have
downloaded it several times on different computers and every time I get the
message a fatal error has occurred and the installation stops.

You help desk won't even listen to me when I tell them there is a problem
they just tell me to buy the full version and they will help. Why would I
spend over $100 for a program if you demo doesn't work why would I think that
the paid version will?

This type of behavior from your help center just adds fuel to the contempt
and disgust for Microsoft.

Check YOUR systems to see if they have a firewall running that might result
in a corrupted download, or an active download manager that may interfere
with the download. Thousands of people have successfully downloaded and
installed the trial (including me) so save your contempt for the proper
location. It is not Microsoft.

The only firewall running is the one in Mircorosft XP.

Why won't the help center provide help if you want people to buy your product.

anything.
