    I have installed Parallels on my Mac Pro with Windows XP Professional as a VM. I've tried to install Office 2007 from a CD by opening Windows Explorer and clicking on the Setup icon. The error message I receive is "Setup cannot find the required setup controller file. Either there was a network error, an error reading from the CD, DVD, or other installation media, or a problem with the package you downloaded." This same message appears from 2 different CDs. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I discovered that my Windows VM was only recognizing one of my 2 CD drives and I was trying to install from the drive that was not recognized. When I switched drives, it installed properly.

    I managed to resolve the problem just by using the "connect to image" option

    All the best,
