Default Office 2007 install fails with a setup cannot continue message

This is a strange one. I just tried re-burning a CD from the ISO, on my
XP x64 system with Nero 7.5. BTW I have NEVER had to burn at less than
40x, never had a problem before this.

Anyway, burned it at 8x, which is the slowest speed offered on this
system. I tried installing the CD on my XP x64 system, and I got this
same error. The verification pass by Nero passed successfully.

Vista had nothing to do with it, I doubt Nero has anything to do with
it. It seems this has to be a bug int he SETUP program, that just can't
handle something on a CD burned somehow.

Hi Terry,

FWIW, I've had similar problems with DVD/CD burning when I found that except for the OEM version of the drive/drivers that came with
the PC that the same model drive had updated drivers available and installing that fixed things up. In both cases, burn then verify
always said the CD or DVDs were good, but then problems with using them showed up. Very odd stuff.

more data for DVD than for CD: so although a typical DVD writer may record
CDs at 40X and DVDs at 16X, in real life the 16X is significantly more data
and therefore faster.

However, it is interesting that you got the Office CDR to work by burning at
the slower speed. I must try that out too. I'll post the result of my test
for you.
