Default Installing Office 2007

I purchased from Ebay and then tried to install a *full version of
Office Prof. 2007 but eventually I get this error msg :
"cannot find excel.en-us\excelMUI.msi". *and MS wants me to find it
someplace which I can't do. It appears that this file is not on my
HD.. How can I get this resolved?


The COA label indicated that this is an Office Pro 2007 English Intl
not to US cd. It appears to be an authentic MS Office 2007 product. I
expected the full version to simply install all the appropriate files
rather that ask me for them.


I have a Dell laptop with XP Pro Sp3. It came loaded with WordPerfect.


Any one here to help me!


Ah, an eBay purchase. *There are so many pirated copies of Office being sold
on eBay it would surprise me that it is, in fact an original non-pirated
disk and license. *There are a lot of good forgeries out there.

See:http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/to look at some of the pirated
software. *Then see:http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/faq.aspxfor
obtaining legitimate software if it is in fact non-genuine.

Of course if it is genuine you have uninstalled any trial version of Office
and it's associated activation assistant then rebooted the computer. *Ensure
that the disk is clean without fingerprint smudges.

Word Perfect will not cause an issue with Office install.


I did use those MS sites. It seemed to be authentic based on most of
the the examples given, including MS "Our Passion" key hole. The COA #
was not same as the US verison shown. Office Intalled accepted the
product key number.I wish an expert could look it over but otherwise
it looks auth. to me. I did install a trial verison some time ago and
thought I had removed all files. I am unsure as to how to find
"associted activation assistant" files..There may be some still
lurking about. Looking at CP Add/Remove. I do see a series of Office
2007 updates like "Compatibility Pack for 2007 Odffice systems" and 6
similar update files. Are you recommedning removal of those files? Do
I need to edit the registry, too.

Thanks for your assistance.
