Default Fatal error when installing Microsoft office 2003

I purchased Microsoft 2003 proffesional addition via my University. The
initial installment on my computer seemed to go okay. However many of the
applications where not working properly, so I tried to repair the office 2003
program using the wizard but I began getting various errors. I then tried to
completley remove the Microsoft 2003 proffesional program from my computer
(seemingly succesful) I then re-installed the program (using the CD I
purchased) but this is where the 'Fatal error" occured during installation. I
click "OK" on the box that arrises with the "Fatal error occured during
installment" comment and this ceases the download. I do not know what to do.
Can anyone help or refer me to a reputable webpage that can assist me with my
problem? Thank you.

You receive the "This patch package could not be opened" error message in Office
2003, in Office XP, or in Office 2000

This is where I may be confused. I have Windows home XP but I have Office
Proffesional 2003. I am not fimiliar with "This patch pack could not be
opened." I could have previously gotten that error before I attempted to
re-install office professional 2003 back onto my computer (I did not write
that down.) However, the message that keeps popping up when I try to attempt
to re-install the entire Office proffesional 2003 program back onto my
computer is "Fatal error during installment." On the pop up box there is only
a place for me to click "OK" which closes the box and ceases any attempt to
continue installation of office . After my attempt to re-install my computer
"seemingly" has office but most of the programs do not work properly. Thanks
for your response any further help will be appreciated.
