Reinstalling MS Office 2003 Professional

[rhiannon1119]

I recently had to erase my entire hard drive and start from scratch. I was
able to reinstall just about all of my programs, but when it came time for me
to install MS Office 2003 Professional, this message kept popping up....
"This program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or
a virus. Please reinstall it." However, every time I try to reinstall, the
same message pops up. Is there anyone out there who can help me with this
situation? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked your hard drive for viruses or a bad sector? The error
message is telling you that you have a problem. Unless you correct the
problem, it's not going to work.

I've checked for viruses and there aren't any. As for bad sectors, would you
know how I would go about doing that? Because I just redid the entire hard
drive and shouldn't everything be working properly now?

A bad sector is a mechanical issue. Start here:
