Hi, MEMO,
Was Office XP originally installed on this computer? If so, it may be that
the installer is looking for that CD. Do you have the original CDs for that
to supply? STDEDU.MSI came with Office XP Student and Teacher Edition.
Alternatively, you could try running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
to remove registry entries to Office programs, then delete the program files
directory with the Office files in them. It's ugly, but it would reclaim
some of your disk space.
