I am trying to install MS Office2010, but it is not working at all.

The only thing I see is this, for just a fraction of a second,

Please wait while setup prepares the necessary files

Microsoft Office

Please wait while setup prepares the necessary files

And then it disappears completely. I have tried to use different Ms Office 2010 softwares, but the problem still persists, My computer is not the best, but I think it meets the minimum requirements to install it.

My computer basically has 1 GB of ram, 160 GB disk space and a speed of 1.66 GHz.

What could be the problem?
