I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and new/retail Office 2007 Professional (box/cd) on-line. The laptop came with pre-installed trial Office Home/Student 2007 (which I uninstalled successfully I think).
I have had no issues with my laptop so far, but have not been able to install Office Pro 2007. It does not even pass the first screen. The Blue-ray ROM is reading the disk content OK (i.e., file names etc), but while in setup.exe mode, it is making "clunky" noises and then displaying the venerable "Corrupt file/Disk" message.
The Office version ended up being for Windows Vista. From what I have heard/read, that should not be an issue. I have tried to install it as administrator but to no avail.
One thing I noticed in Setup.exe Properties is a "valid date of 4/4/06 - 4/10/07." Not sure if this has anything to do with its install. I have also turned OFF all Norton virus protections.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Office 2007 installation corrupted. How can I fix?
I am an IT trainer and own two legitimate versions of MS Office - Office Pro
Edition 2003 and Office Enterprise 2007. I have been using Office 2007 on my
laptop for a few months and then a few days ago decided to download Office
2003 onto my laptop AS WELL, as I need to teach both 2003 and 2007 versions.
Having downloaded Office 2003 I started having problems with Outlook so I
uninstalled both versions and reinstalled. Still had problems so decided to
uninstall Office 2007 but now am unable to do so!
I have tried to uninstall several times but all I get is the message 'This
product installation has been corrupted. Run set up again from the CD, DVD,
or other original installation source'.
Yesterday I was getting the 'MAP132.dll is corrupt or the wrong version'
message but this seems to have disappeared now!!! HELP???? I really need to
get Outlook working again. Can anyone advise me what to do?
You can only have one version of Outlook installed.
You can only have one version of Outlook installed. From your =

Uninstall both Office versions. Run the MSCUI (Office clean up tool) to =
remove all vestiges of Office, reboot, and then install the oldest =

Select a Custom install for each version. If you want to use Outlook =

Office 2007. (It should be unavailable anyway but it never hurts to =

Thanks Milly. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to open up your email - all I got
was a blank screen but I have seen your response here on the discussion page.
As I mentioned in my original note I have tried uninstalling 2007 but all I
get is the 'corrupt' message and it won't uninstall. How do I run the MSCUI
tool if I can't uninstall the programme?

It has been updated to work with Office 2007.
