Installation error; Office XP standard

R

Robert

I have attempted to install the Office XP upgrade onto a
new hard drive. I was able to install my original version
of Office 97 beforehand. I receive the error
message: "failed to locate a qualifying product, error
1608". What can I do to resolve this.
