SYMPTOMS

Could not find a package to install on the installation media.

CAUSE

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.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, perform the Office 2000 administrative installation into an empty folder.
