Hi Noglao, I have experienced similar problem with my Office 2007 installation, I believe its a problem with the CD itself, there might be a scratch or something that is blocking this file from being read. Maybe even a manufacture error since I had the exact same problem with the same file. In the end I had to copy the disk to my hard drive and I moved it to a share folder on my file server. I mapped this share folder to a root(z:) on my workstation. I ran it from there and it worked just fine. If you don't have a server or can't map a folder for some reason I suggest trying another installation CD, or copy the files to your computer, burn a new CD and try it again with that CD. Good luck Daniel
