This article was previously published under Q228677
When you run Microsoft Office 2000 Setup, you receive the following error message:
Could not find a package to install on the installation media.
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
- You run Setup from an administrative installation point.
-and-
- You perform the Office 2000 administrative installation to a server location that contains an administrative installation of an earlier version of Office.
To resolve this problem, perform the Office 2000 administrative installation into an empty folder.
If you want to retain the administrative installation of your earlier Office product, move the files in the administrative folder into another location, and reperform the administrative installation to install the earlier Office product back into the same folder.
