windows vista problem with office install

i am running vista ultimate 32 oem. i loaded office 97 pro. with no problem
then tried to upgrade it to office 2003 pro (upgrade ver) but setup would
freeze after entering serial number. after numerous tries i attempted to
remove office 97 and that freezes to. any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. brian b.

Reinstall Microsoft Office 2003 again, but this time make sure you install
it with Administrative privileges. Also make sure the latest updates have
been applied such as Service Pack 3. For Microsoft Office issues, here is an
appropriate ng for support issues:
microsoft.public.office.setup
