Works 7.0 Installation error message 1305....

[k80bug]

Error reading from file: d:\MSWORKS\Pfiles\Msworks\wkwinuni.dll. Verify that this file exists and you can access it.

I am on OS XP Home Edition. Just reloaded on the puter last week. I had Works installed at one time and then somehow got my hands on a copy of MSOffice. Well, I can't get my hands on a copy again and I can't afford to buy a new one. I have my Works 7.0 disk but I think it may be corrupted. I get the error above and I have located it, checked properties (not that I know what I am looking for ) and have tried to copy it from the disc to the shared files per other posts I have read. It says it cannot be copied because it cannot read from source file.

What do I do????HELP I need to have a word processing program.

Thanks!!

Try cleaning the CD as a first step. Wash the CD in warm soapy water, rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.

Not sure if this link applies, but worth a look?
