Failure to Install Office Ultimate 2007

Thanks, DL, for the link. I have already browsed the site but cannot contact
them til later in the day (it's only about 12:45 AM there right now) to see
if that will be my salvation in this matter.

DL, I have contacted DigitalRiver but do not hold out much hope for
afirmative reply. Is the a way to get this directly from Mocrosoft that
you
know of? I can supply information on proof of purchase.

corrupt, or that the burn operation corrupted the ones on cd.
I think the only thing I can offer, assuming you dont have the actual
download files stored on a PC, is that you try logging on to Digital
River
to see if the option to purchase the actual Office disk is still
available.

Yes, other CD's have been installed on this computer but none recently.
And
the other PC that had this installed was from another CD-there were two
purchases of the same program offer for two different PC's, That way I
got
two key codes and didn't have to go through the hassle of buying a
second
key
code.

DL, great news, finally. I am able to get the disc version of Office

did you ever get yours to work? i am having the same problem and i have no
clue what to do. the only difference is i am just directly trying to download
it from the net through the ultimate steal program and it says download
failed with no other information. i have tried contacting them several times
and they just keep telling me to turn off virus protection and what not. any
other advice would be great thanks.

Take the option to pay extra for the dvd, no doubt you will need it at a

Hi there
Sorry if this is a dumb question but here goes. I've got the same problems
as those previously mentioned but I did take up the option of the dvd and
it's on the way. My question is do I need to completely uninstall all of
office 2000 before installing office 2007 ultimate?
Thanks so much for your help.

It would be advisable to uninstall office2k and reboot before installing
from cd. (ensure win critical updates have been done)
Also if using Outlook, create a new Profile with new data file

Hi there, thanks for your help. I actually kept reading last night to try
again to understand why the exe file kept failing. Eventually I did one
thing I read and all was fixed. All I needed to do was download a freebie
download manager program and downloaded the office 2007 ultimate exe file
from digital river. It downloaded quite quickly and successfully
installed!!! Came across the problem of NOT creating a new Profile in
Outlook but fixed that after trying a couple of different suggestions ... ie.
creating a new profile and deleting the default.
Thanks again

did you ever get yours to work? i am having the same problem and i have
no
clue what to do. the only difference is i am just directly trying to
download
it from the net through the ultimate steal program and it says download
failed with no other information. i have tried contacting them several
times
and they just keep telling me to turn off virus protection and what
not.
any
other advice would be great thanks.

DL, I have contacted DigitalRiver but do not hold out much hope
for
afirmative reply. Is the a way to get this directly from
Mocrosoft
that
you
know of? I can supply information on proof of purchase.

I think the only thing I can offer, assuming you dont have the
actual
download files stored on a PC, is that you try logging on to
Digital
River
to see if the option to purchase the actual Office disk is still
available.

Yes, other CD's have been installed on this computer but none
recently.
And
the other PC that had this installed was from another CD-there
were two
purchases of the same program offer for two different PC's,
That
way I
got
two key codes and didn't have to go through the hassle of
buying a
second
key
code.

I believe some Dell's are supplied with certain cd/dvd

run
on start-up & could be causing a conflict.
(Presumably other cd's install successfully on this PC?)

This was a disc burned with the files downloaded from the MS
Store
via
store.digitalriver.com. There were 2 purchases for 2
computers
and
the
other
one loaded/installed w/o problem.

If the latter then I suspect either the download file was

I had posted this some time back but had problems getting
back to
get
the
answer(s), if any. I have a CD of a download of the
Ultimate
Steal-MS
Office
Ultimate 2007. When I attempt to install it, I get the
message
"The
installation package failed." No codes, explanation,
whatever.
I'm
running
Dell Dimension E521 w/Vista Premium w/SP1 (32-bit). I
have
1GB

300GB
HHD (288 free), AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 33600+
w/1.9GHz

speed.
I
have had this disc the better part of a year and have
never
been
able
to
install it. I can't get any help from MS because I
haven't
yet
installed
it
so it can be registered.

Pam, where did you get the download manager? The exact same thing is
happening to me and it is very aggravating. Please help!

Hi there, thanks for your help. I actually kept reading last night to try
again to understand why the exe file kept failing. Eventually I did one
thing I read and all was fixed. All I needed to do was download a freebie
download manager program and downloaded the office 2007 ultimate exe file
from digital river. It downloaded quite quickly and successfully
installed!!! Came across the problem of NOT creating a new Profile in
Outlook but fixed that after trying a couple of different suggestions ... ie.
creating a new profile and deleting the default.
Thanks again
regards
Pam

It would be advisable to uninstall office2k and reboot before installing
from cd. (ensure win critical updates have been done)
Also if using Outlook, create a new Profile with new data file

Hi there
Sorry if this is a dumb question but here goes. I've got the same
problems
as those previously mentioned but I did take up the option of the dvd and
it's on the way. My question is do I need to completely uninstall all of
office 2000 before installing office 2007 ultimate?
Thanks so much for your help.
regards
Pam

Take the option to pay extra for the dvd, no doubt you will need it at a
