Re: office 2007 files

Hi Bill,

Renaming the first file to add the .exe extension generally fixes one issue (it's a bug on the website that MS is working to
correct), and the files will be extracted when running the .exe if it's complete and uncorrupted.

Note that CD#2's download includes both MS Office Accounting 2007 and the MS Office Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager Add-in.

Well, I downloaded two files for Office 2007 -- one had an .exe
extension and one had no extension. The .exe file installed the
Accounting app, which I doubt that I will ever use. The other file would
not run, of course. I assumed the other file also needed an .exe
extension. Office 2007 was installed when I added the extension and ran
the program.

My question, though, is what happened to all the setup files extracted
from the .exe files before the actual installation? In the past I have
sometimes been asked to insert my Office 2003 CD. Obviously with the
download I don't have an Office 2007 CD.
