30 minutes? That's not too horribly long, especially on an older machine. That, and it's office 2007 - that means the OS is newer, and will be dragging the system's speed down significantly!
Installing from CD is the slowest, a faster method will be from the hard drive, and maybe from the network. Either way, because of the system speed, it will still be quite slow.
In all honesty, I'd say to just let it set for a few hours. Just leave it alone, go do something else, and come back later. Hopefully it will either be all done, or it will have a dialog box asking for more info or telling you something.

I agree, 30 minutes is too long. I would check system requirements to make sure it will install and run. If you are running the minimum, be patient, be very patient. You are installing a hefty load on an older machine. Get some sleep and check it in the morning. If it's frozen, then turn off/on your machine, close some programs on your computer. It will need all the system resource's it can take to install.
