Installation cannot find "Excel.en-us/ExcelLR.cab" file

[dpdave]

Trying to install Office Home/Students 2007 on new Dell laptop with
Vista Home Premium. Early in installation get error message "Setup
cannot find Excel.en-us/ExcelLR.cab file" and it shows a file dialog box
to choose the right directory to "Browse to valid installation source."
I have no idea what to choose. I THOUGHT I PURCHASED THE VALID
INSTALLATION SOURCE. This is very frustrating as I expect newly
purchased software to correctly install on new computer. If this doesn't
install on new computer where the heck will it install? What can I do to
correct this problem? HELP!!!! Thanks,
dpdave

Your installation source is your cd/dvd drive

BTW Did you uninstall any trial version & activation assistant first?

 

[dpdave]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that and it keeps coming back t
the same dialog box with the same error message.
Don't know that there is a trial version on the computer and not sur
what activation assistant is

You examine your Dell documentation to asertain whether it was supplied with
a trial, or you look in Vista's version of Add/Remove software
Or simply type Word in Vista search

cdr disk drive letter as to where the file it can't find but it stil
comes back and ask for it againg or asks for a different file. I eve
tried to direct it to a different drive letter but that didn't wor
either. PLEASE help I'm going nuts. I even tried to load the progra
without the Note One portion? But guess what no luck

I'm 60 years old and right now I fell every day of it and I'd like t

Thanks in advance for your help
