Language not supported by system

M

Matmi

Hello,
I just received MS Office and I can't even install it ! After a few seconds,
it tells me that "the language of this installation package is not supported
by your system". It does not make any sense, as my PC is American, and so is
my Office software.

Does anyone have any clue ?

Thanks.

Microsoft does have unlimited installation support for Office as long as it
is retail and not a trial.

I have a guess. Try doing the following, you'll need your Windows CD.

1. Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Regional Settings -> Language Tab
2. Check both the boxes labelled 'install files...etc etc'
3. Click OK and wait for the installer to finish.
4. Now try installing your Office.

I've tried this and still doesn't work. I bought the Office Enterprise 2007
Home Use program and I'm getting very frustrated. It appears that this
problem is more than just isolated.

Anybody have any other suggestions? Will Microsoft give me my money back
for a program that doesn't install?

Why would Microsoft give you money for something you did not buy from them?
Ask your employer for a refund.
