Default Office 2007 does not install on Server 2008 Virtual Machine

I am trying to install Office 2007 Enterprise, and yes, the windows desktop
experience feature is installed on the VM w2k8 server (x32 SP2).
Another issue is that I can shrink the VM but cannot expand it. Is there
anything I should edit in the .vmc xml file?
The host is Vista Business x32 SP2, but other VM work ok.

Thank you,

If you mean by "expand" the vm that you want to increase the capacity of the
vhd, you cannot. Once created, the vhd cannot be changed in that way any
more than you could a physical hard drive. You can create a larger vhd and
image the old vhd to the new one, however, just like you would when swapping
in a newer, larger physical hard drive.

Sorry, I was not clear. I meant expanding the actual window of the VM.
It's very annoying, can make it smaller, but not bigger.

Change the screen resolution of the VM guest. Higher resolution = larger
screen.
