Problems installing Office 2003 following uninstallation Office 2007 Beta 2 Tech Refresh

A friend recently upgraded Office 2007 Beta 2, which worked perfectly,
to Office 2007 Beta 2 Tech Refresh, and found that it would no longer
open any of her Office files.

Office 2007 Beta 2 Tech Refresh was then uninstalled, and she attempted
to install Office 2003.

However, she got 'Error 1305: Setup cannot read file'.

Is this a problem with the setup disc, or a conflict created by Office
2007?

If it is the latter, how can it be fixed?

Does your friend have Norton AV with the Office Plug-in active? If yes, uncheck it and reinstall Office 2007.
