Failure to Install Office Ultimate 2007
I had posted this some time back but had problems getting back to get the
answer(s), if any. I have a CD of a download of the Ultimate Steal-MS Office Ultimate 2007. When I attempt to install it, I get the message "The installation package failed." No codes, explanation, whatever. I'm running Dell Dimension E521 w/Vista Premium w/SP1 (32-bit). I have 1GB Ram, 300GB HHD (288 free), AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 33600+ w/1.9GHz clock speed. I have had this disc the better part of a year and have never been able to install it. I can't get any help from MS because I haven't yet installed it so it can be registered. |

Was this disk supplied by MS, or was it one you created from a download
file? If the latter then I suspect either the download file was corrupt, or whatever means you used to create/burn this cd was faulty "TheRalpher" wrote in message ...

This was a disc burned with the files downloaded from the MS Store via
store.digitalriver.com. There were 2 purchases for 2 computers and the other one loaded/installed w/o problem.

Failure to Install Office Ultimate 2007
If this disk successfully installed on one PC, but fails on the other, then
try booting the PC into Safe Mode. I believe some Dell's are supplied with certain cd/dvd utilities which run on start-up & could be causing a conflict. (Presumably other cd's install successfully on this PC?) "TheRalpher" wrote in message ... This was a disc burned with the files downloaded from the MS Store via store.digitalriver.com.

Failure to Install Office Ultimate 2007
DL-
Thanks for the reply-I'm sorry about being so slow getting back to you. By booting into safe mode can I install the CD w/o any problems or shortcomings with the Office suite? And, yes, other cd's have been used successfully in the past to install programs into Vista. I'll try that, probably this weekend, and get back to you in either case, install or failure.

Failure to Install Office Ultimate 2007
DL, hello again
Well, I tried the safe mode installation method with no results better than I had before. I got in safe mode, opened the cd, double-clicked (dc'd) on the 1st application file, X12-30307 (258,648KB) and got "The installation of this package failed." within 2-3 seconds! I then dc'd on the second application file, X13-40150 (394,873KB), and it started extracting files. Then it went into the "MS Office Professional 2007 CD Setup Wizard". In a few seconds I was presented with the "Maintenance Options" screen. This screen contained three options. The first two, "ADD-new MS Office 2007 CD2 Components" and "REINSTALL-or repair MS Office 2007 CD2", were greyed out and unable to be selected. The third option, "REMOVE-MS Office Professional CD2 from this computer." was the only option I could select. I have already uninstalled any and all MS Office products from my computer prior to trying to install the Ultimate 2007 but I did it again with this option. When it finished nothing happened for some time (about 1.5 hours) and I dc'd X13-40150 again and got the same options/choices with the same results. The three listed selections to remove we 1) MS Office Accounting 2007, 2) Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 , and 3) MS SQL Server 2005 Express MSSMLBIZ). It seems almost like the Windows installation files are lost or corrupt but I don't know how to replace them. With this being a year trying to get it installed I just want my money back since no one can get the danged thing to install, but I know THAT will NOT be an option. HELP, DL!

Oh, DL, I'm sorry that I forgot to include the answers to your questions.
Yes, other CD's have been installed on this computer but none recently. And the other PC that had this installed was from another CD-there were two purchases of the same program offer for two different PC's, That way I got two key codes and didn't have to go through the hassle of buying a second key code.

If you got a maintenance mode window on running setup that would tend to
indicate at least some files were installed to the hd. Unfortunately (?) I've ever used the actual Office cd, and not the download files. It would appear to me that either the actual download files are corrupt, or that the burn operation corrupted the ones on cd. I think the only thing I can offer, assuming you dont have the actual download files stored on a PC, is that you try logging on to Digital River to see if the option to purchase the actual Office disk is still available.

DL, I have contacted DigitalRiver but do not hold out much hope for
afirmative reply. Is the a way to get this directly from Mocrosoft that you know of? I can supply information on proof of purchase.
