Default Office 2007 install fails with a setup cannot continue message

It doesn't seem to be just Vista, as I couldn't read my original CDs
from XP x64 either, and I didn't write the CDs under Vista.

Is this a Nero problem, as I am using Nero 7 also?

(http://www.7-zip.org/) to extract the contents of the ISO into a local
folder and ran setup.exe from there -- and it all works just fine. Operating
system: Windows XP Pro. So it has probably to do with the way the ISO is
structured (?), not with Vista.

Well to add to the confusion, I realise now that I downloaded both Vista and
Office finals from MSDN site and burnt them both to CD or DVD on the same
computer which had Windows Vista RC2 and Nero 7.5 installed at that time (in
fact it is the same machine that I am now running the final versions).

So if Vista ISO burnt OK to DVD, why didn't Office ISO burn to CD?

I think we can safely eliminate any hardware problem: Vista seems the most
likely suspect but Nero is not ruled out of the equation.

It's down to the burn speed for some reason with these iso files. I reburnt
my office cd at 4x and it installed fine. DVDs are written at a slower speed
anyway. HOpefully MS will fix the iso files in the future.

Actually, DVDs are written faster than CDs. The base level of 1X speed is
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.

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.

Same thing here. Wrote the iso to cd using Nero - No go. Extracted to HD
using isobuster and it installed.

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.

Don

I don't think that is the case as I (eventually) burnt this to CD using a
Windows XP computer fitted with the same LGE burner and the using the same
Nero 7.5.

I am still baffled by this. I will try the slow speed burn on Vista and
report back my findings too.

I'll also check to see if there are driver or firmware updates for my burner
too.

That seems to incriminate Nero then.

I would agree as I'm also using Nero 7.5.1.1
