Default Install Office 12 over Office 10?

There is a Knowledge Base article on uninstalling Office 2007 if the normal
uninstall fails. It is a big article, but it claims that if you follow the
steps you can then install Office 2007.

Egad, I could not fine a reply button. I actually made a new post, hoping
you might see it.

The history is: I tried both the Custom and Typical installs for Office
2007
with nothing installed. In both cases, the installer could not get past
the
Proofing Folder.

I even copied the folder and its files to the C drive and tried to access
them from there on the install.

So, then, I installed Office XP, which went fine.

But, O.K., now I am functional, but I still want Office 2007. That is what
I
use at work, some documents are, e.g., .docx, and I mean, you know, I paid
for the suite.

It was my error in uninstalling it in the first place I (It came
pre-installed, it was my error to uninstall it, does that give any
hints?).

As I have said elsewhere, this is a big problem. It was recorded in this
forum as early as March 2008, six posts, but no replies. Also, if one
searches on Proofing.en-us, thisd thing is all over the internet, which no
suggestions.

Any help will be appreciated.


Sorry, what I meant was, when the install starts you should be asked for
a
Typical install or a Custom install.

Earl-

Thanks, but uninstalling Office 2007 is how I got in this mess.

I am now trying to re-install Office 2007, and, apparently like many others,
the install will not get past the Proofing.en-us\Proof.es\Proof.cab, and
\Proof.msi files.

Many people are having this problem, first replorted here back in March 2008.

If you have a solution for how to get at these proofing files, that is what
we need.

I mean, even if I were to edit the registry and remove every trace of Office
12, that does not seem to be an answer.

Perhaps this is a different bug then. Have you contacted Office Support
yet? Installation support for Office 2007 is probably free.
