Problem installing MS Office 2004

Hi,
I've installed MS Office 2004 on several computers with no problem except this particular one. Right after I click on the accept button at the license agreement prompt, the installation ends. Nothing happens after that. It just quits without any indication. I've tried either using the Setup Assistant or dragging the Office folder to the Applications folder on hard drive, and the same problem still occurs. Where should I start to check for the problem? Thank you very much for any help or suggestion.

You know, i've run into this symptom several times when starting up apps or installers..it's always been caused by the processor being just too fast..the G5 chip is clearly one of the fastest (or arguably, THE) fastest chip out there so it's not at all surprising you're getting this..i suggest you go check out M$'s website and see if there's any info re installing office on fast chips..at least focus your enquiries in that direction... That's all i can say at the momemnt, as, like the majority of folks, i don't have a G5 (sigh....)
