Trying to load MicroSoft Office 2003 onto Vista.?

Question

I am trying to load Microsoft Office 2003 on my laptop that has Windows Vista. When I try to load it I get a message that says--->> "Error Exec File. E:\Office11 - Disc 1 Professional :Setup.exe. The Requested Operation requires elevation"

Is there a patch I can download that will allow Office 2003 to run on Vista? Thanks

I have microsoft office 2003 running perfectly on both vista ultimate and home premium and i did not run into any problems during installation.

Check to make sure your installation cd is not corrupted and that your vista is in tip top shape too.

Try this :

Right-click the "Command Prompt" and choose to "Run as Administrator". That will initiate the UAC prompt for elevated privileges. If you are a member of the local administrator-group you should simply have to select continue, otherwise you need to enter the administrative password, then try the SETUP

reinstall it again clean install
