installing office 2000 to Win2000 professional probs

vinylmusic

I just installed Win 2000 to my AMD Duron Sony laptop and all seemed ok but it wont let me install my Office 2000
It says not a win32 appliication

I did have win me on it but it gave probs and i wasnt having much luck with repairing it or reinstalling it
I thought win 2000 professional would be better.

Can anyone advise me if there are any fixes

Thanks

Could the office disk be corrupted - damaged? It should install unless it was possibly a disk that came through sony and they tied it to the original system - though I doubt it.
It may be a problem with the win2000 install - you said the me system was not installing correctly. That may be hardware - hard disk or something. Do other apps install ok?
Did you format the drive?

Office 2000 has nothing to do with Sony.

During the installation everything appeared to go smoothly
O did convert the FAT16 to NTFS during the install
I dont know if that had anything to do with it.
I've used the office discs on other machines ok as well
