Office 2007 install fails with a setup cannot continue message

I did several experiments yesterday comparing how Nero 7.5.7.0 was burning
on Windows XP and Windows Vista computers to see if I could work out what is
different. Both computers have the same LGE GCE-4167B DVD-RW drive with the
same level of firmware.

When I burn on the on the XP machine, Nero reports various burn speeds
throughout the burn cycle, commencing slowly (around 12X) until it reaches
around 32X at the end of the burn. This seems correct to me because CDs are
burnt starting from the inside tracks where the rotational speed is
relatively slow compared to the outer tracks. To test this theory was
correct, I burnt a 720MB avi file file (that uses nearly all the available
disk) and that started at 12X and finished at 36X. I am sure that had this
been a full disk, the outer tracks would have reached 40X - the maximum
speed the drive burns to CD.

On the Vista computer, this didn't happen. Nero reports that the drive is
burning at 40X throughout the burn.

My conclusion is that Nero is at fault when running on a Vista platform.

However, it does seem to burn DVDs correctly - as was proved when I burnt
Vista ISO. Had it messed up the VISTA burn, I would probably have got to
this conclusion MUCH earlier!

Except I did all my burning on XP x64, as I have for 2 years. I have not
done any Nero work on Vista.

Your experience does seem to point the finger at the Office ISO: but it is
strange that it works fine when burnt using an XP PC. There really doesn't
seem to be a real conclusion to this.

Terry,
Sure, there is a conclusion,
skip Nero; use a simple;yet totally effective; FREE app from Terrabyte
Unlimited.
Burncdcc.
Simple;free; can change speeds; and I've NEVER had one single problem
burning iso's with it. period.
Had an MVP show me burncdcc; it's the easiest and best iso burner out.
Not once; has it failed to burn an iso correctly;not once; and I've burnt
lots since b4 CPP.

I've experienced the same problem everyone else has posted here using
Nero 7.5 on Vista and XP. I used Nero 7.0 on my XP machine with no
issues on the iso's. Everything is fine on both XP and Vista now. I
suspect Nero 7.5 is the issue.

Thanks Jeff. I'll certainly try Burncdcc: not that I have to burn ISOs that
regularly, but at least it works and I certainly don't trust Nero at the

Terry,
It's the best; simplest iso burner out there; free; and
jeffproof-basically ya just browse to the iso-and it grabs it.
It's got a slider to adjust your speeds;but after one or two times;and a bit
of hesitancy;(was leery) I let it stay at default-"optimal" on the
slider-not one single bad burn-not one. And it's a teeny app,(66 kb's) I
