I bought a new Toshiba Windows7 laptop that comes with the 60-day trial version of Office 2007 Home and Student that I downloaded from Microsoft wesite. When installing from Office Pro 2007 cds that I  recently purchased, I encountered the problem. I tried to solve the problem in Browse and selected the CD drive that is installing the Office CDs, the same message pops up "Setup cannot find Pro WW\Setup.xml".  Where can I find the setup.exe in my computer? Do I have to uninstall the trial version first before I install my Office 2007 discs?

    Yes uninstall the trial version first and try the installation again. If it still doesn't work copy the content of the cd/dvd to your hard disk and try again. Or try another cd/dvd drive to check if there is something wrong with the disk.
