Vista - installing office 2007

Colin_Cleav · 08-28-2008

Dear all,
I am getting a very strange error when I try to install office 2007, running vista home premium service pack 1. - see attached screen shot.
I can't find any information about others having similar troubles - does anyone have any idea? The installation gets anywhere from 1/3 of the way through, to almost complete before this error (or other similar ones) come up and the install crashes.

Someone had this same error message during install and in this link here is how they resolved it:

Hi, Colin_Cleav, and welcome to the forums.

Raj's advice may work for you just be aware that hte post he linked refers to Windows XP

Environment is XP Professional, SP2 - auto updates on, Lenovo - IBM - X40,
Office 2003 professional installed and running.

and thus some of the steps it directs you to take may need to be taken in a slightly different way. However, one thing to undertake immediately would be to run Disk Cleanup and clear out your temporary files before attempting to run the installation again. To get more info on runing Disk Cleanup, see Disk Cleanup
