I am getting this error also. I have tried:

1. Installing from CD (I also downloaded twice and cut multiple CDs and verified hash #s) to a virgin install of Vista Ultimate

2. Installing from CD to a version of XP x64 running Office 2003 Pro but that never had any betas of Office running on it.

Yes. I've tried on 2 other computers, one with a fresh install of Vista Ultimate (nothing else was installed, just Vista, no updates or anything to ensure that there were no other influences) and an XP PC. All failed at exactly the same error about one second after the Office Setup window appears. I too conclude that Office 2007 has a serious bug OR the MSDN version is corrupt.

Terry/all,

I get the same error on both Windows XP and Windows Vista, so I'm thinking
it is a Office 2007 issue.

I burnt the downloaded ISO to CDR and have tried running it from both the CD
and by copying it to a folder on my HDD and running from there too. I now
have 6 CDs burnt and all verified.

I'm leaning towards this being a Vista problem and I think I'll post this in
a Vista NG now.
