Office Small Business 2007 Setup Fails to Run

[Zimmerman@discussions.microsoft.com Michael Zimmerman]

I have Office 2007 installed. I inserted disk 1 to change the components
installed, setup tried to run and then I received the message "Setup did not
complete successfully. An error occurred during the installation and setup
was unable to complete." I sent the error report to MS. This error results
every time I insert disk 1.

Disk 2 setup works fine. I concluded I may have a bad disk and contacted MS
for replacement disks. The replacement disk 1 still gives me the same error
message.

I tried all of the following, but get the error:
- ran setup from autorun
- bypassed autorun and ran setup directly by executing setup.exe
- ran setup from My Computer
- ran setup in Windows Safe Mode

I thought about uninstalling, but if I do and the problem persists, my
ability to run my business stops dead.

Any ideas on what I should do?
