Default Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"

And another update.....

We took all the components from the offending system to different make of
board (still VT8237R) and had exactly the same issue. We re-installed
again....had the same issue. We changed the CPU from an intel 6XX series to
a 5XX series and installed, now it all works fine. Put the 6XX series back
into the system installed with a 5XX CPU and it still works fine.

Hopefully that's a bit of 'food for thought' for you all...

Some more info for you. Experiencing exactly the same thing here.

If i manually extract, it fails in the same way at the same point as the
execuatble launch.

If i burn the executable to CD and run, it installs fine.

After seeing this i dug out the old XPSP2.exe file to test the extraction,
and this failed half way though. To be safe i did the same process (from the
SP2 CD, not the HDD) and it extracted fine.

Unfortunately, the process of extraction doesn't seem to generate any error
log's in the %temp% dir, only setup error's.

p.s. I'm not using MCE, im on XP Home with a VIA VT8237R chipset and a SATA
HDD. I don't believe this problem existed (or atleast it wasn't reported)
with an IDE drive in the system, but i'm just about to ghost back to an IDE
drive to test this theory.

Hi JayKay,

Are you using Windows XP Media Center Edition?

See if these steps help,

Assuming this is the first 2007 Office product you're installing, and you're installing on a version of Windows XP (which includes
Media Center)

===========
1. Use Start=Programs=Accessories=Disk Cleanup
clear your Internet files and temp files.

2. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note the folder/path location.

3. Create a new folder on your PC and note that
folder/path location.

4. Use Start=Run , and on a single line type in
the following (using the path & file names from Step 2 & 3)
and leaving out the brackets

"drive:\Step2PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.e xe" /extract:"Step3path"

example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named Off2007ProB2CD1) the Start=Run line would look
like this

"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"C:\Off2007ProB2CD1"


If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes) then

a. Backup your files and shutdown all other running apps and utilities including antivirus.
b. Run setup from your new 2007 Office system folder you
created in the previous steps

Else, if the extraction doesn't succeed then the download may be damaged/corrupted.
Use Start=Run and type
%temp%
and locate the Setup-xxxxx.log
(file) just created and see if it has any clues on where the extraction failed.

Post back with the results please.

JoAnn, I believe we all know there is no actual tech support for beta
software, but dont you think it would be prudent to at least offer a little
asistance rather than a put down to those trying to help find the bugs? I am
having the exact same problem and I am using the beta 2 version of Vista. I
am a 30 year "veteran" working with computers & I could sure use a little
help figuring this one out.

My point was that everyone is forewarned that they are on their own if they
opt to run the beta. If someone in the MS newsgroups can help, great. But
there's no guarantee that anyone can provide any advice.

And my point is that as a representative of Microsoft, you need to remember
that you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. That
kind of condecending remark will help no one. I saw another one of your
"like responses in another thread and the two together tells me you are in
serious need on an attitude adjustment. May I suggest several quarts of Jack
Daniels and an evening with your favorite "significant other"? I think
theres been enough said at this point.

Let it be known that if you post something that JoAnn Paules [MVP] dosent
like, you will be berated & belittled because you did not do things the way
she thinks is the "only" way. This is no way for a supposed Microsoft
representative to behave. Uncle Bill should be told about this woman. After
all he signs her paycheck.
