Office 2007 Beta Fails Install

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

Hi Brian,

A couple of steps to try (assuming Win XP)

1. Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>Disk Cleanup

2. Internet Explorer=>Tools=>Internet Options=>
General=>Delete Files

3. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note this folder/path.

4. Create a new folder on your PC and note the
folder/path location.

5. From Start=>Run use, on a single line:

[drive:\PathOfDownload]<downloadfilename>.exe /extract:"<path>"

where the "<path>" is the drive:\path\foldername that you crated in Step #4.

If this doesn't succeed then the download may be damaged/corrupted.
If it does succeed try running the setup from your new folder and see if you get different results.

(Be sure to backup your files and shutdown all other running apps including antivirus software before starting 2007 Office setup)

Post back with the results please.

=======
Same scenario, same problem.

Getting the same thing here, but with a twist ( i wonder if it's the same for
you guys).

when the installer tries and fails, this only seems to be when launching
from the HDD. When we burn the file to CD, and run the setup from there
we're having no such problems. I believe it may be SATA driver
related....still trying to figure it out myself though.
