setup won't run

It can be found in the root directory of the CD.

In other words, if D:\ is your CD drive, then autorun.inf can be found in
D:\


Of course, you'll need to insert the Microsoft Office 2003 CD into your CD
drive first.

Click Start (a.k.a. the "Start Menu"), point to Programs, then Accessories,
and click on Notepad.

If you do not see Accessories or Notepad in the list, go to the bottom of
the list and click on the double arrow to show all items.

In Notepad, go to File (in the menu bar) and choose Open...

At the very top of the Open dialog box is the text "Look in:" and a
selection list.

Select your CD drive which has the Microsoft Office 2003 CD inserted from
the list (most likely "D:")

Now at the very bottom of the dialog, find where it says "Files of type:"
and choose "All Files" from the list.

Just above "Files of type:", you'll see "File name:" and a text box with the
text "*.txt" in it.

Using your mouse, highlight "*.txt" and type "*.inf" (without the quotes)
and hit the Enter key on your keyboard.

Now all you should see are some folders on the CD and 1 file named "autorun"
(or "autorun.inf"). Double-click on that file within the Open dialog box.


To open the setup file which is indicated in the autorun file, minimize all
open programs by clicking the "_" in the upper right corner of each window.
Double-click on "My Computer" and then double-click on your CD drive icon
which has the Microsoft Office 2003 CD inserted.

Be sure that you close any other open programs by clicking the "X" in the
upper right corner of each window OR by choosing Exit from the File menu
before running the setup program. This includes virus scanners too.

In addition, you will need to log in as an Administrator to run the setup
program.

Find the file and double-click on it.

After Microsoft Office 2003 is installed (and Windows restarted if needed),
remain logged in as Administrator and run each program installed to accecpt
the EULA (End User License Agreement) and activate the software (via
internet if possible).

Thanks for the response. However, I'm a bit computer illiterate and can't
figure out how to open autorun.inf in notepad. Where can I find autorun.inf?

Open autorun.inf in a plain text editor (i.e. Notepad) and find the line(s)
that read:

[autorun]
open=

The text found after "open=" is the file you should run.

I am trying to install microsoft office 2003 student edition on an hp laptop
with windows xp. The computer came with demo versions of office 2003 already
installed. When I insert the disc, setup doesn't automatically run as it
should. Instead, a box pops up that shows all of the files on the disc. My
computer seems to be reading the disc o.k., since I can access the

files
from

the box. However, there are many different setup files, and I don't know
which ones to select. Anyone experienced this problem before?
