Contact Acer - Office Basic is an OEM only installation package and the OEM
is required to provide all support.

find the setup.ini files, usually in FILES\SETUP\Setup.ini

add the following two lines under the [options] tag

ACCEPTEULA=1
PIDKEY=<your license key with no dashes>

That solved it for me, the other crap in the KB article did nothing
except waste my time, but at the very bottom they mention the
ACCEPTEULA=1 part.

I have the same laptop and the same problem
where do I find the set up file? I found the note pad and did what you said
it asked if I wanted to save the changes and I said yes and it redirected me
to another window and then said I didn't have authorization to save it.?
