Installing without CD-reader Soldala Sweden 12/29/2008 9:28:01 AM How to install an Office Home & Student-licence to a mini-PC when I have no CD-reader on the mini-PC? Copied the whole CD to an external hard drive (USB) from another PC and tried to install from the external hard drive. Started setup manually, filed in my licence No but during install process I get error No 1706. Is there anyway to download the install from Microsoft.com, using my bought license No? Other useful ideas?

Other useful ideas? See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?SCID=kb;en-us;297834 for some assistance to your issue. The other way to accomplish the install is to copy the "whole CD" to the hard drive of the mini-PC and install from there (if you have sufficient drive space.) I have installed from USB drives all versions of Office, from 4.3 up to and including 2007, without an issue so I know it can be done.
