Default Office 97 will not install

When I put in my Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition in my drive and
click on "setup", I get the message "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOXEC.NET. The
system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose 'Close" to terminate the application". How I fix this
so I may install Office on my computer? I'm running Win XP. Thank you.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324767 "Error message when
you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based program".
