can I copy Office 2003 from one computer to another?

[Joepa]

I got a new barebones computer w/a new HD to boot to and installed Win XP on
it. I also installed my old HD from old system to the new computer. My old HD
has Office 2003 on it. When I try to run Word, I get a message saying that my
system is not configured to run this application. What gives and what do I
need to do to get Word, etc., to run. I do not have the original discs, just
an upgrade disk.
Thanks.

You can't just copy most applications, as the installation routine writes
entries into the registry. You need to install Office.

Thanks, that is what I am gathering.
