2007 office encountered an error during setup

I am putting together a new computer and when I went to install office 2007
on the Vista 32bit the setup was interrupted by a screen freeze. When I went
to reinstall it came up with a message after I put in my Product Key
"Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 encountered an error during setup".

I tried following the posted article (ID 927153) on the 2007 Micosoft Office
suites site which stepped me through the process of deleting rgstrtn.lck
which apparently prevents one from reinstalling office, but the procedure I
followed did not delete this file. Anyone try this with any luck? When I
check the directory for the file it still shows up.

Hey, I have the exact same problem as you.

I have tried to delete the rgstrtn.lck file but everytime I type
"attrib -h rgstrtn.lck"
I get the following message: Path not found.

I have also gone ahead and manually uninstalled as per microsofts
instructions including deleting the appropriate files through regedit.

I still can't get past the first part of setup. It keeps saying an
error occured during setup and there is no error code.


I guess I could've posted this as a new thread, just saw the date on
this... sorry guys
Does anyone have any idea on what to do next?
