Problems installing frontpage 2003

[Angie]

I recently purchased a new computer that has Windows XP Professional and
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003. I'm trying to install FrontPage
2003 and keep getting an error message. The troubleshooting guide states I
need to update my system but I have the requirements. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Setup could not locate a version of Microsoft Office 97, 2000 or XP on the
selected drive

Are you trying to install an upgrade version of FrontPage 2003? You must
have a prior version installed or have the CD of a prior version of
FrontPage available.

You need a previous copy (version) of frontpage - you've purchased the
Upgrade rather than the Full version. The Upgrade requires you to have a
previous licenced version so it can do the upgrade check. If it can't find
it on your system it should prompt you to enter the CD of the previous
version.
