As title.

I have a genuine copy (retail not OEM) but CD won't install due to scratches.

I have tried everything to get it to install so hoping I can download a copy off the net.

Been searching but no luck so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Blimey that is going back, I just went through my software library and I only go as far back as Office 2003.

The suggestion above might be your best bet in getting the scratches removed.

The earliest I have is Office XP (2001?)

I actually need just the database part Access.

That is why I need the professional version as it contains Access and plus that is what my key relates too.

Access 2010 is no good as it will not open the file I have but I know 97 does with no additional work etc.

OK have you tried taking a copy of the database file and then converting the copy to a format that can be opened by Office 2010/2013?

From a quick search Access 97 files should open in Office (Access) 2003 and then within there you can convert the file to a format that can be opened by later versions of Office.
