Office Professional Plus 2007 installation failure

Insults... Nice... I bet "Wild Bill" Gates wouldn't appreciate your
representing him or M$ in this way...

Thanks for the added push away from the stable. So, all 10,000 of you
couldn't help push a better, more solid product out to the public? You can
call this what you will, but when you push to the general public, you are
attempting to build market interest and keep the propaganda flowing so your
sales will pay the bills. If the 10,000 of you were not able to catch
install problems, let alone functionality, this product won't go for another
year! Or, if it does, it will be as buggy as every other "FOR SALE" initial
version of M$ apps. Nice work and nice follow up, seems the clue-stick needs
to be sent in your direction a bit.

Next time read before you flame... I didn't use it on anything but a test
box, I suggested people give up and wait for a later version. As a developer
I would not want to **** of my Beta USERS with crap that would prevent them
from someday buying. I, as anyone who might really make a living from
programming, would want the Beta USERS experience to be as positive as
possible. You never know who might have some control over an International
company with more than 40,000 desktops. Beta is not a 'get out of jail free'
card when it comes to a customer's experience.

Oh and Milly, have a nice day!

Listen, Microsoft already has about 10,000 official technical beta testers

us have been using the betas since Alpha code. Sorry if your experience has
not been ideal, but what about BETA don't you understand? The Office Beta
front page clearly explains that you may have problems, do not install on a
production machine, backup your critical data, and watch for potential
corruption. Microsoft is not trying to enlist public beta testers - you are
a beta USER, not a tester.

So, what is Microsoft supposed to do? Come into your home and beat you over
the head with a clue stick? Did you also read the part about the software
being provided "As is, with no support?"

If you really want to see the "whiz-bang" features without actually
installing Office 2007, then try the Test Drive.

I don't represent anyone but myself. And I guess answering your post using
the same tone constitutes insults - guess if you can't take it, don't dish
it out.

And exactly what do you expect the technical beta testers to do with install
issues (none of which I have experienced)? Storm Microsoft and hold a gun
to their head until they solve each and every install problem no matter how
arcane the hardware/software combination? It is BETA 2, not an RC and no
where near ready for public use except for those (like you) who want to run
beta code. Microsoft did not PUSH this out to the public - last time I
checked, YOU have to go to the page, YOU have to click on links, YOU have to
download, YOU have to expand the installation package, YOU have to input the
installation code... need I go on?

Take some responsibility and quit blaming everyone except that face in the
mirror when something doesn't go as planned.

Oh, and RandyH, thanks, you too!

No, you needn't go on, but I'm sure you will.

I dished it out???? When was that, when I suggested we "feel" for the poor
saps that had too much faith? Or perhaps when I suggested to others that
might have read the thread to stop looking until a new version ships??? I
hardly think that equates to "beating with a clue stick" and condescending
commentary from a shut-in.

Frankly, I think many of us "expected" some sort of guidance (sans the
commentary on how we shouldn't be using the product.) from those who have
suggested they were familier with the product and might have run into the
situation. Look around, you'll see a great deal of threads on the issue. Not
many people would expect a final product, but we don't expect to be hammered
for asking questions.

Stop feeling you need to defend and start adding value.. Better yet, just
pi$$ off!

This is for Millie and Joanne, the self-proclaiming MVPs. Like hundreds
or thousands (try looking up the error message and see how many people
are running into this problem) of others, I came here looking for
possible fixes, known issues, or potentially useful suggestions.
Instead we get you geniuses looking down your noses at everyone about a
problem you're not qualified to address (but that doesn't keep you from
acting like you're somehow indignant with all us little-people and our
petty complaints--you probably don't search forums when you run into
problems).
We don't need some half-wit(s) who haven't run into this issue to
explain that it's not supported by Microsoft (notice we're at a NON-MS
forum?).

If you don't have an answer why not save your insight (or lack thereof)
for some other issue?
Your arrogance comes across as purely as your ignorance, you obviously
don't know how to help these people. I suppose if you have a problem
with software you probably just decompile it and locate the bug
yourself, right? or, considering your obvious importance, your contacts
at MS probably just send you the source code to figure it out for them.

and oh gee, let's make sure we don't send millie any email to her
personal account, she might delete it without reading it, then what
will we all do?

and joanne, that isn't a bad idea you had... however no one cares if
you read it, we only care that for no reason you want to comment on it.
Must be the "well I didn't have a problem installing it--therefore all
these people must be idiots" attitude you probably have trouble with in
the workplace.
If you installed it with no problem, then why comment on it except some
pathetic attempt at making yourself feel superior? Invest some time in
self-evaluation and make the world a better place.

----------------------

Now for everyone else except those two "MVP"s... I've installed this on
two machines with no problems, put another hard drive into one of the
machines with a fresh install of XP pro, used the same downloaded
software that worked before, and got the error everyone else who would
come here looking for possible answers is getting.
I've checked about 20 forums with people running into the same thing,
and no answers yet. I only registered here to post my disgust with
those two arrogant rejects.
Hopefully someone aside from people who've never seen this error before
will make their way around with some insight that would be useful.

Actually you have posted in a Microsoft forum -
microsoft.public.office.setup.

We don't need some half-wit(s) who haven't run into this issue to
explain that it's not supported by Microsoft (notice we're at a NON-MS
forum?).

here's the address I'm at, copied from my browser address:
http://forums.techarena.in/

I don't see anything about this place being owned by or otherwise
affiliated with MS.
You've proved my point: you can't help but find a way to be
condescending. It isn't supported by MS, and this isn't MS (and you
aren't either, or are you saying you're a representative of MS?).

Here's what MS site says if I do a search for the web site I registered
to reply to your posts at (which is techarena):
"Use these non-Microsoft communities online to get answers to your
questions, state your opinions, meet other Windows XP enthusiasts, and
learn more about Windows XP."

Did you notice the "non-Microsoft" phrase there? Still going to try to
twist yourself into being right by suggesting/implying this is
affiliated with MS?

If you don't have actual answers or helpful insight, why bother
posting?

Seems along with your arrogance, you have been duped as well:

Seems that Techarena posts all of their questions here. So... who is the ID

As for the rest of your rant, whatever.

One option to try, by default on Vista even if you are admin, you are
doing things in a non admin mode, so when you run the install it fails
on the extraction of files, to get office to install, right click on
the X11-85679-EN file, properties, compatibility tab, at bottom select
run as admin. this did the trick for me, hope it works for you.....
