Re: Office 2007 install fails with a setup cannot continue message

Aha! The issue isn;t with Office 2007, it's with the way the Disks are
created. I used WinRar to make a Hard Drive Folder. I also used my CD-Rom,
but wrote it at a slower speed than the CD/DVD Writer is capable of writing
at. I used 8x anhjd both Track-at-once and disk-at once.

Iused both a Memorex DL DVD-RW Drive and the Plextor PX-755SA Drive. Both
worked at a slower write speed.

'burning' the ISO. I'm making enquiries and hope to have an answer tomorrow

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.

Hi Terry,

Are you running setup from a folder that you extracted the contents
to, > or
are you mounting the .ISO for Office and running setup
from there, or ???

Bob

I've uninstalled OneCare and tried yet another download - still
same > abort
as soon as Setup tries. There is still no log file.

I am at the point where I am going back to Windows XP and Office
2003.
