I have a CD installer, and another on my hard drive. The installation does
not complete because of the error. I would expect that the installation
will
prompt me for a license key, but it seems like it is getting it from
somewhere in my system and detects it as an invalid key.

Does the install complete? Are you running this from the CD or ?

When I run the MS Office Pro 2003 setup program, I get the following
error
message:

"You have not entered a valid Product Key.

Please check the number located on the sticker on the back of the CD
case
or
on your Certificate of Authenticity."

The odd thing here is that I was not even prompted to enter a license
key.
I searched the MS KB and one of the solutions was to uninstall all the
MS
Office components via the Add/Remove Program wizard, so I did that.
However,
when I tried to re-install MS Office, the same product key error is now
being
spitted out.

Any ideas on what I need to do to be able to install MS Office 2003
again?

Thanks in advance!


Cheers,
Rene
