Office 2007 Enterprise Install Problem

You did mention that, but not if the error had a number, or the exact error
message. It sometimes helps to have the exact error messgae along with any
number associated with it ("Error 1311", for example), because you can then
search the Microsoft Knowledge Base, or newsgroups, for that exact error
message.

At any rate, try the steps I noted below and post back.

Sorry about that.. When I try and install the program the browse for
folder
window opens and it states it cannot find a particular .cab file and to
select a source folder for the file. When I try and select the folder
containing the file it woul state it was an invalid source. I cannot
proceed
from there.

Do you have your installation CD for Office XP?

If so, I would try this:

1. Uninstall all Office XP (and previous) versions. Check the Control
Panel
to see what else is there.

2. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, and remove references to
Office XP in the registry (and any earlier versions of Office). You can
find
it he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-us

3. Reboot your PC, then try the Office 2007 installation again.

4. If that doesn't work, you may need to contact Product Support to get
help
with installation (unless someone else posts here with other
suggestions).

You might also try using a different drive if you have one, or copying
the
CD to your hard drive to install, in case you feel that the CD itself
might
be damaged.

Tried everything you suggested to no avail.. Thanks for the help and if any
other suggestions come up please let me know. I am not an IT guy so creating
instalation points would need to be explained thoroughly.
