Installing Home and Student 2007

J

Jawahara

Hi:

I am trying to install this version on my brand new computer. However, when
I run Setup.exe I get a message that it has reconfigured Office 2007 on the
computer but I cannot find any evidence of Office programs that I can use on
my computer. It also does not go through any of the usual setup stuff, it
just runs for a a minute or so and then tells me it has reconfigured Office.
No prompting for product key or anything. Then I tried activating the trial
version that came with the computer in case I needed to that in the hope that
it would prompt me for the product key when the trial period ends.

However it gave me a message that I would have to go to microsoft.com to
complete the activation but once I got there I couldn't figure out where I
needed to go or what I actually needed to do. I am getting really frustrated
since I spent money to buy Office but have not been able to use anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to uninstall any trial version of Office 2007 before
installing your licensed version.

You need to uninstall the trial, delete temp files & reboot before
installing your retail/purchased edition
