I zipped a copy of Office 2003 from my pc at work to my home pc while I was
connected remotely to my work VPN, but I get the following error message
"Your computer is currently not configured properly to run this application".
Any suggestions?

Hi Stacey,

Office needs to be installed. It places files in a number
of Windows and Program file folders other than the Office ones
and writes a large number of registry entries.

First off, unless you have a legal (genuine) copy of Microsoft Office, you are in violation of the End User
License Agreement (EULA). Essentially, this means that you are running Microsoft Office illegally (whether you
are having problems or not).

Second, Microsoft Office must be installed from a Microsoft Office CD. Without running the setup program on
the CD to install the software (whether or not you choose to run from the CD or run from your computer),
Microsoft Office will not run.

My suggestion, ask someone at work (i.e. your boss or network Administrator) about installing and running
Microsoft Office OR go out and purchase your own copy of Microsoft Office at a local retail store.


To find out if a Microsoft Office CD genuine, visit the "How To Tell" website on Microsoft.com:
