Office 2003 Pro Installation Problem

Trouble is I cant persuade the CD to install on her laptop. I've tried on my desktop too just to see if it was the laptop causing the problem. I get different complaints depending on which of the machines I'm trying to install it on. Both pcs have Win XP on, although her laptop comes up with soming about Media Centre (or something). Both pcs have plenty of disk space, memory, processor speed.
The complaint my wife's laptop comes up with are about "setup.exe" not being a valid Win32 application.
Anyone got any suggestions please.
Thanks in advance

"You are not entitled to install Office 2003 Pro OEM on any computer other than the one it came with."
"A number of anti-virus packages interfere with the installation process."
"now know it is the Microsoft media causing the problem, something to do with their newer disks"
May be some clues in there somewhere!

Neil

Something I have noticed - the CD doesn't seem to want to get up to speed (data disk speed as against audio disk speed). It tries a couple of times then just seems to run at audio CD speed (I'm judging this on what I can hear from the CD drive).
I have contacted the supplier, and hopefully he can find a solution. What that would be if the first of Njal's suggestions proves to be correct - the bit about Microsoft CDs running on some drives but not on others) will be a "good 'un".
Will be in touch

Office 2003 will install from a copy of the original disk.
Which file is causing trouble, if it's only one file and small enough I might be able to email a copy.

Neil
