Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"
Since you know you were forewarned, you can't complain. There were no
guarantees, written or implied. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Valdoe" wrote in message ... Yea it does say that but if you know that many fail to install WHY charge for the download... I just wasted my $1.40 US... no wonder Microsoft have great profits.. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: The notice that appeared prior to your downloading the beta states: "Beta code is offered "as is", and does NOT include technical support." -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Peteerwilliam" wrote in message ... Me too, just the same - Microsoft say "refer to discussion group" -not very helpful. I hope someone has the answer.

Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"
Ok, JoAnn, it's obvious that you are just a rude troll, so maybe you need someone to point out some things that are obvious to most people of at least average intelligence or better. 1) Internet forums are for sharing information and learning from other people. Just because Microsoft doesn't provide support for a beta product, doesn't mean that people should have any hesitation about posting here to try to solve a problem. These forums aren't on Microsoft.com, people aren't asking Microsoft for help, so just freaking shut up about that. Let people try to figure out the problems and solve them. 2) There is no reason that someone can't respond to a post that's 3 months old. If the information is still relevant, then there is good reason to post and ask questions and try to resolve the problem. If you have a problem with that, that's fine, but please troll somewhere else 3) MVP isn't really that impressive of a title. It isn't that hard to get, and publisher really isn't that tough of a product. If you had a hard to earn cert, then I'd be a little more impressed. When I saw you were putting your MVP for publisher on your sig, I really did laugh out loud. If that's the only claim to fame I had, I'd be embarrassed. 4) This particular issue is continuing to occur even though the product isn't in beta any more, and information posted in the thread has some good information (minus your rants that detract). Although the post was started 3 months ago, it still has relevant information and this thread still comes up on google on the first page when searching for the article. When I used the keywords Office 2007 "the installation of this package failed", this was the second result. I just found them today and had to weed through all your crappy posts, so even though you were trolling months ago, this was my first exposure to the thread. The internet stays around a lot, and just because you posted 3 months ago doesn't mean that everyone else saw it at that time. You need to smarten up about that and get off your high horse, and realize that what you see as intellectual insults are just making you look plain stupid. You are probably the only person that thought it was funny when you insulted another poster asking them why it took them 3 months to respond. everyone else was smart enough to realize that the person just found the boards. With that in mind, thank you everyone that has contributed useful information. This thread has given me some good starting points, although so far I haven't found a solution in here that works. I'm going to try to do the manual extraction that was suggested though since I haven't done it yet. I'm trying to install the Office 2007 pro from the Launch 2007 event, and it has the exact same issue many of you have been having. And Joann, get a life. Despite your comments, I really doubt you could teach anyone a thing or two about anything but trolling, although even as a troll you are only mediocre. I've seen many trolls that are much better. Get yourself some better certs or titles you can use besides MVP for Publisher as well. 'JoAnn Paules [MVP Wrote: ;2215067']I also know how to spell properly, use fairly decent English, and don't respond to posts that are three months old. Perhaps I could teach you a thing or two....or perhaps not. It's impossible to teach those who will not learn. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] QUOTE] -- zyxwv88 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zyxwv88's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=23649 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=517552 http://forums.techarena.in |

Start a new one and explain you issues properly. I do not see your old post that you are referring too since it is long gone from my server. If you need some help then you explain your issue correctly and in as much detail as possible. I also would have given you a very similar response. Now if you care to explain your issue maybe someone or myself can help or put you on the right track to getting your issue fixed which we still do not know what it is. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"
Maybe these forums are different than most I've been to, but it doesn't make sense to make a new post when there is useful information in the past post that then can end up being duplicated and which leaves two posts that people have to search through instead of just one. In addition, this post is the one that google is finding, so when solutions are found, having a solution here means people will find their answer, whereas a new post won't come up yet on google, and hence people are less likely to find it. I completely disagree about Joanne being rude. Her tone came across very snobbish and elitist and provided only condescension and no useful information. Telling someone "or perhaps not. It's impossible to teach those who will not learn." comes across rude to me, and I'm not even the one she addressed the comment to. I could go back and post other comments she made that were just as rude or worse, but it's not worth wasting the time. Regardless, people came here asking questions and rather than answer questions, she told people that it's unsupported. Although that is true, the attitude totally defeats the purpose of the forum. What if everyone took that attitude all the time? These would be very useless forums. The extension of that attitude would be that if it's unsupported, people shouldn't be posting and asking, but that if a product IS supported, that they should go through proper channels of support rather than post here. Hence the boards become totally unneeded and unnecessary as people go elsewhere to get their questions answered. My feeling would be that someone should either contribute to the posts and try to help, or else just shut up. Honestly, what is the point of telling someone the product is unsupported? Everyone knows that, and that's why they are here instead of Microsoft's site. I do appreciate your offers of help. I have figured out the solution for my issue however, so it's not needed. Your approach is significantly better than Joann's approach of just telling people it's not supported. Thanks. As far as the solution, I found a few pieces of information to add to this post. I did find that my problem was that that the file was incomplete. Even though it appeared to complete properly, when I checked the file sizes, it was only 1/2 the size it should have been. It won't tell you the file is incomplete, it just fails during install. I'm pretty sure this is the reason that one poster said that when he redownloaded Office that it worked. One additional thing I found that causes some people problems on other forums is that the error can occur if you don't have the Windows Installer 3.1 installed. -- zyxwv88 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zyxwv88's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=23649 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=517552 http://forums.techarena.in |
