setup could not find any available products to install

I am trying to install office 2007 (32bit) volume license on a server 2008 R2 (64bit). The server is set up as a terminal server 12 licenses. No other version of office has been installed on the server. when I run the setup I get the following error message "setup could not find any available products to install ", any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to install office through Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel on a Terminal Server.
Please note that you will need an Office License for each TS or RDP CAL that you have.

there is no add/remove programs per-say just programs, this is Server 2008 R2 running as an RDP role, if you are talking about "Install Application on remote desktop" tried it, same results.

Is this a volume license copy of office?
OEM office 2007 will not install on TS.
I am not sure about retail pack (FPP)

Also although apparently not required for 2008 TS try putting the server in install mode via command prompt first
#> change user /install
---- install office
#> change user /execute

You can also get this message if you are using an "upgrade" CDROM
