Hi guys, i can not install office 2003 professional edition.. I don't know what could be the problem here...I had it before but them i had to remove it , now when installing it stops in the middle of preparing to install dialog and then rolls back the installation? Any help would be greatly appriatiated.. By the way i cleaned old files from the computer with the officecleaner and turned off system restore..

Did you do a proper uninstall the first time? It sounds as if there are still some files/folders and registry entries remaining and that's what causing your problem. Reinsert the CD and select Add/Remove. Then run a full uninstall, reboot, and then attempt the reinstall.

Not that I'm accusing but was the version you originally installed a pirated version or demo version with an expiration date? Same question about the version you are currently trying to install?

I love that subject. "Guys" can't install the software. Maybe a female should try? :)
