Hi-I'm-Jack

You need to contact the person / company you purchased the "CD's" from.!!

Hi Jack,

It sounds like the 98 CD is an upgrade version. If so and the 2000 disc is
also an upgrade version it won't work.

It's apparently an upgrade version of FP, and it requires a previous version
in order to install. Looks like you got hooked.

Jack, Try the following:

You do not need to install FP98!

Start the install from the FP2000 CD and then when prompted for a qualifying product, remove the
FP2000 CD, then insert the FP98 CD, and change the dialog to point to the CD drive, once finish
replace with the FP2000 CD and complete the install of FP2000.

It really shouldn't matter if FP98 is a upgrade version.
