Default failed to locate a valid qualifying product (using full ver 2k Standard)

I am trying to move my Office 2K Standard (SR-1) from an
old machine with XP Home to a newer machine with XP Home.
After entering the product key I get a message..."Setup
failed to locate a valid qualifying product on your
machine. Please select the drive where a qualifying
product can be found".

When I look for this error on Microsoft, it refers to
upgrade versions needing a previous qualifying product.
However, this is not an upgrade. It's the full version.

P.S. If I try to set up using "SetupSE" I get
message..."Setup has detected the following problems,
please correct them and rerun setup:
You do not have Microsoft Internet Information Server
(IIS) 4.0 installed...".
Help!

Sorry, but if you're receiving 1608 then it's an upgrade. You must have had
a qualifying product on your system at some point - if you no longer have it
then you must purchase Office again as you are no longer entitled to use the
software.

Actually, I was able to get it going. In the field where
it was asking me to pick the drive that had the
qualifying info, I entered Drive D: (CD)which had the
Full Version of Office 2K Standard (same one I was having
issue with).
It found the info that it missed the first time and
installed fine.
I would have been pretty ****ed if it did not work,
because there was obviously no support for this error.
