PowerPoint 97

[Don Durran]

I've bought a package on eBay that I was led to believe
was a full version. It has a CD Key no. and when trying
to install it provides a 15 digit service no. However,
the installation in a Windows XP home computer stalls
when the search for qualifying Microsoft programs is not
satisfied. Obviously the computer has many Microsoft
products, but not any of the ones the installer
recognizes. Is there a way around this?

Looks like you might have purchased an upgrade, and it is looking for a
qualifying product.

Hi Michael,

I bought this package on eBay and was assured by the
seller that it was a full version. The CD does have a
key and when I put that in the installer it seemed to
recognize it. Then, of course, it looks for qualifying
products, one of which according to support.microsoft.com
is PowerPoint 2.0 or later. Is there a way of getting
around this since I have almost every other Microsoft
product (but unfortunately not the ones they list)?

AFAIK, if it is the full version, then it should not be looking for other
products. As far as a work around goes, I have no solution to offer. Sorry
