my computer currently has the Microsoft works. but my mum prefers the older version, office 1997. but trying to install it always has some problem( it says that there is an error in installing). how do i install Office 97 into the computer then?

after installing Office 97 directly onto the computer, i tried opening Excel. but a box appeared saying that it is unable to locate a component(MS09.DLL was not found) how do i fix this error?
