I've just tried instally iwork 05 and when I get to the bit where I can do the easy install, and I press the install button, I get a message saying "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install".

There's no other install options. I've tried restarting and trying again but it hasn't made any difference.

Any ideas?

btw, I've installed iwork off this disc in the past with no problems.

I'm assuming that iWork is not already installed, correct?

Try looking in your /Library/Receipts folder for anything iwork related. And delete it (or at least move it somewhere out of the way). That's where Mac OS X keeps track of what's been installed or updated, so deleting the iwork receipts will make it seem like you don't have it.

Thanks, that's useful to know. Turns out it was installed but I hadn't put in the serial number and I thought I only had a demo version that had expired.
