Please I am having problem installing office 2003 Package on my computer. The specs are: Windows XP Professional, Athlon XP 2500+, AS Rock Mobo, 120 GB HD, 512 MB memory.
The computer was working perfectly well until it crashed late last year. I did reformat the C drive and reinstalled the windows XP, but the office 2003 refused to install. It kept bringing up error message, that the cabinet files could not be cached to a temporary location. Each time I run the setup, a different cabinet file wouldn't cache.
Someone suggested that I use an external CD drive to try installing, assuming that my drives might be dirty. I bought a new external drive, yet it didn't work. I was also advised to run hard drive diagonistic utility to check for any damages to the hard drive. This I had done and even used the powemax diagonistic utility to completely restore the hard drive to its original status (as claimed by the manufacturers - maxtor) and then started from scratch to partition, format and install the operating system, yet, the office 2003 isn't installing.
I need help as I cannot do any work on my computer. The Office 2003 Cd isn't dirty or damaged. I have borrowed a friend's copy, yet the same problem persists.
