I seem to have the exact problem that Chas is experiencing - with Office
Enterprise Edition (Home Use) on Asus Notebook under Vista Business.
I have copied files to Hard Disk but get the same error when I try to
install - not quite sure the logic behind the WinRAR approach suggested
here.
I am wondering if there is a part of the Asus platform that might be causing
problems
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Cheers

:
If you got it to read, it is unlikely is is a problem with the DVD.
Why not simply copy the data to drive and bypass WinRar?
That seems like an unnecessary step?

Got office to load, but not from CD.
Used WinRAR program to archieve files to HD and ran install from HD.
MS should do something about quality of their DVD's and installation
to win
vista ultimate.

looked in the setup log.
