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



CAUSE

-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.
