Unable to install MS Office Pro 2003 due to an invalid key error
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 |

Unable to install MS Office Pro 2003 due to an invalid key err
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. "Ben M.

Unfortunately not. I came across this when I tried to search for a solution
online but it still did not work. I no longer have any MS Office applications installed on my machine. "Ben M.
