Unable to install Office 2000 on a XP machine

[cgy99]

Has any of you tried installing office 2000 on a XP machine?

My windows XP home edition came with Office XP personal, which only includs word and excel. I need powerpoint, access etc. as well so I uninstalled Office xp and was hoping I could still use my Office 2000 premium. When I tried to install office 2000, I got this message: "Windows files must be installed for your installation to proceed. Insert your Windows XP Professional CD-ROM now". I then borrowed XP Professional disk from work, but then it gives me this message: "The CD you provided is the wrong CD. Please insert Windows XP Professional CD-ROM now"

Office 2000 can't be installed on XP? Please advise.

thank you very much

You need to get the windows xp home edition cd i think to be able to make it work. The cd u got from work will be a professional CD, but it should not be a problem to install office 2000 on windows xp...
