Lost a HD' can't reinstall OfficeXP

[chermesh]

Hi,
I'm running a win98 system. The pc used to have two HDs, but one failed and was dismantelled. I've uninstalled. My temp file used to be on the faulty HD.
I tried to reinstall officexp, but keep being kicked of with the following error message (translated freely from Hebrew):

"An error in opening the log of the installation registraion file. Make sure that the location mentioned for the log file exists and that it is writable."

How can I renable installation in the absence of the original HD?
