Installation of MS Office 2007 on Vista.

Hi

Im trying to install Microsoft Office 2007 on windows Vista on my new
Packard Bell Notebook/Laptop.

I place the disk in Drive D and then click, it then comes up with the
message:
" Can't Run
You must be an administrator to install Office 2007"

I have tried everything. I have cancelled the User Account, so that there
isn't one, but the administrator account is still active.

I have been on with this for 4 hours now and Im ready to give up.

PLEASE can someone help me get this put right.

Thankyou

Michael B

Hello,

have you tried running the Setup application as Administrator? Right-click the file -> Run as administrator

Hello Michael B.,

Use the "Run as" function and start the setup file with a right mouse click.
By default theire is no administrator password set.

If you turned off UAC I've just seen someone report that they could not
install Office 2007 until they turned it back on.

Try right mouse clicking on the installation start file and selecting
Run as Administrator?
