Error installing Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies package

[E K R]

Hi,



I am using, Vista and Office 2007, and I have developed an Add-in for
Outlook 2007 and deployed it successfully on a couple different machines But
with others I am getting an error when setup.exe is trying to install
o2007pia.msi file. So then I try running o2007pia.msi on its own and I
receive the error



"Error 1316. Setup cannot read from file C:\Eric\PIAREDIST.msi. Check your
connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions to
this problem, see SETUP.CHM".



When I downloaded the file named “PrimaryInteropAssembly.exe†I did not
receive a file name PIAREDIST.msi. These are the only files that I received:

· o2007PIA.msi

· o2007PIA_ReadMe.rtf

· o2007PIA_EULA.txt



Is there an issue with Office 2007 on these machines that recieve the error,
or could this possibly be a permissions problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.



thanks,

Eric

Installing the PIA's does require admin permissions, as does installing the
framework and any VSTO runtimes.

When I run the .msi installer I am running it from user accounts with
administrator permissions

Then you have to do the detective work to find out what's different where it
works and where it doesn't work.

I get the same issue.
It's only on a client's machine (in another country) - so testing isn't as
easy doing dectective work as you may think in some situations.
I was hoping to find some response from microsoft on this issue - but no
luck so far.
I'll probably tell my clients to forget about Office 2007 - and re-install
Office 2003 - which didn't have that issue.
