MORE INFORMATION
When you install Office 2003 from the Office 2003 CD or from an image of the Office 2003 CD, Setup installs the Office Source Engine (Ose.exe) system service to copy the required installation files to the local computer. After Setup.exe reads the Setup settings file, Setup.exe performs the following actions:
 * Determines the drive that has the most available space on the local computer
 * Verifies that the user has administrative rights
 * Installs the Office Source Engine

For more information about the Office Source Engine, see one of the following Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit resources: <ul> In the printed version of the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit, see page 23.</li> In the online version of the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
