Cant transfer Office 2003 to new vista PC

when I try to install the Office 2003 disk used on my old pc to my new vista
pc i get the error 'Windows installer could not be accessed'.
I have looked in the erors and problems section system bit on the control
panel - lots of problems but no solutions at all.

Right click the install or setup .exe and select "Run as Administrator".

Re: Cant transfer Office 2003 to new vista PC

I had no problem doing that but I did it from the administrator hidden
account. I call it the god account and hardly ever have install
problems if I use that account. It should NOT be required but Vista
being almost as bad as Windows ME often requires things like that.
Too bad it does not work as well as it looks.
