office 2003 professional Installation hangs - no error message

[DL]

There was no need to install qualifying produce, you just pop cd in when
office installation complains, point to it, then swap cd.

I'm unsure if your now saying Office has installed, but icons have changed.
If so you should be able to repair using office cd.

I would'nt install any sync products until you are sure Office is
functioning correctly, including update.

Hi DL,
Thanks for the suggestions - I was going to try a repair but noticed that
there was no entry in Add/Remove programs for Office, so when I put the disk
in it started an install. I don't know if it made any difference but this
time I selected a typical rather than complete install and the process ran
through without a hitch. I selected the visit office update option on the
final install dialogue and it noticed I already had the three required
updates which then installed without any problems. I was surprised that I was
not nagged to re-activate the product, so some part of the previous
installation survived.
I left Works and Active sync installed, my next plan was to uninstall
activesync and see if office either returned or would install. I'd rather not
have works on the pc but space is not an issue and I can remove the shortcuts
from the start menu so as not to confuse family members!
I still suspect that office may be gone when I get up tomorrow, but the
install was so effortless that I'm hopeful it will still be there.
If not I'll check the install log and see if it had errors.
Again, thanks for the help
