not a valid win32 application error

[jide]

I have a HOme use program MS Office Enterprise 2007 DVD. When i put it in my
windows xp machine, it does not auto-install. When i double-click to run the
setup.exe it tells me that the file is not a valid win 32 application. MS
sent me another DVD and I had the same problem

Hi Jide,

What specifically are you double clicking? Open the CD folder in Windows explorer and be sure to use the Setup.exe on the DVD. You
may also want to try copying the DVD contents to your PC hard drive and then running setup from there.

Be sure you're logged in as Administrator.

is a extracting cabinet file. it says it's not a valid win32 file when I
click on it.

I am also receving the same message when trying to install MS Accounting 2007
and the Business contact manager. I downloaded the software directly from
MS. I do not have a CD. I unzipped the file manually, but it still will not
install.

Burn the unzipped files to a CD and then try installing.
