Setup has encountered an error during installation

Everytime I try to install office, I'm getting an error as quoted in the title.
Anyone knows what might cause this?
Thanks for any tips.

Re: Setup has encountered an error during installation

I am having a similar issue. I was running Office 2007 fine then this morning I installed Visio 2003. It wonked my whole MS setup. All of my office link icons are now windows default, indicating that the "Start in Directory" has been lost. When I try to repair my Office install, hoping to rewrite the registry entries, whether from the Control Panel or the disk I get the same error.

Hopefully someone has seen this problem and will respond. i will keep provide any update I come up with.

Hey guys,

I suggest getting some help directly from Microsoft, They can investigate the cause and make a patch for you and anyone else experiencing the issue.

Re: Setup has encountered an error during installation

I had the same problem, what i did:
Deactivated UAC (log said some registry entries could not be performed)
Stopped AV/Firewall
And it worked.
Maybe it can help you, doesn't cost anything to try.
