Hi Manfred,

Good idea about the new partition, but why didn't you test it with Vista
32 bit if that's what you wanted!!

I noticed you posted part of a log file below, and it's talking about
creating a "restore point". I hope Office setup is NOT creating a
restore point?? I certainly don't want it to do that on my systems.
Typical of Microsoft. The restore point is now seen as a panacea for the
writing of poor software, and failing to test it properly - when it
fails they can just tell the customer to "do a restore", LOL!

I noticed you say you had old versions still installed. Didn't you see
my earlier post stating that "upgrades are always wrong"? It may not be
related to this issue, but nevertheless, it's still wrong. Surely
Outlook is included with Office 2007 so why would you leave an old
version, and regarding Frontpage, it's insane, you need to install
SharePoint Designer 2007 to make it compatible with the rest of Office
2007 and Vista. The problem is the registry and the "Common Files"
folder and the need to patch both versions. Side by side installs are
always, always wrong.

I formatted another partition on my system, installed Vista 64 bit and
subsequently Office Enterprise 2007, everything works so the DVD is good.
However, this all needs to run on the 32 bit version which is my main system.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
It does not look like MS has a way of supporting install problems with Office.
Am I stuck for good?
