Last week I installed this simply by inserting the CD in the drive and, as I
recall, the usual display of options came up with the correct choice already
selected, namely install the software or something llike that. In any
event, it installed nicely. Didn't run, but that's another story.

Now I insert the disk and all I get is a Windows Explorer list of the
folders that are on the CD. The closest thing that looks like it could be a
setup file is D:\files\pfiles\msoffice\setup\ose.exe, which seems to do
nothing except spin disks.

I know this is minimal information, but I don't know what else to tell you.

The Setup file is in the root of the disk.
You did uninstall any Office Trial & Activation Assistant, then reboot prior
to installing from cd?
