Installing FrontPage 2003 - HELP!

I am at my wits end here trying to install FrontPage 2003. I had it on this
PC before and a couple of months back I had to do a System Restore to the
original settings. All of my other software re-installed just fine.
However, I can't get FrontPage to even install.

I have the full CD version of the application. However, I get this message
when trying to install:
'The product key you entered requires a version of Microsoft Office 97,
2000, or XP to uprade.'

Since I am not upgrading, I have the full version, why is it asking for this
info. I have Office 2003 Standard Edition and tried to point it to that CD,
but the same message popped up.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind. I do have the upgrade disk. Because I upgraded to Office 2003
and no longer have Office 97, I guess the upgrade won't work?? Lame. I have
to purchase the full version.

Do you have the office 97 disk?
If so, insert it in the CD drive when asked to verify the location by the FP install disk.

Sadly, I got rid of the disk when I upgraded to 2003.... Thanks for
responding.
