Help! Hard drive crashed. My computer now has an almost new hard drive that
came from a networked office (which is now closed); it has office 2003 on it.
So I put in my office professional 2007 disks, enter product key, is ok'd,
and then I get the following message: "Setup cannot find
office.en-us\1033\dwintl20.dll. Browse to a valid installation source." I
found some dwintl20.dll files on my hard drive, but when I click OK, it won't
accept any. So, it cancels the upgrade installation. Can anyone help? I
have looked everywhere on microsoft support, but cannot find this particular
problem. Thank you.

I would say that because the copy of Office 2003 that came on your
almost new hard drive is not legally your copy of Office 2003, you
shouldn't try to use it as a qualifying product for upgrade to Office
2007

I bought the upgrade for my own office version that I have, and installed it
with no problem on my computer; unfortunately, this is the hard drive that
crashed Tuesday. So, rather than buy a new hard drive, I simply used the
hard drive in the extra CPU from the office that was shut down last year. (I
have had to reinstall all of my programs.) Anyway, when I tried to install
the upgrade, I ran into this problem. The only thing I could think of that
would be a problem was that this particular hard drive was in a computer at
an office that was networked. So, I guess my next question is, do you think
I should install my own older version of office that was on the crashed
computer, then uninstall office 2003, then try installing the upgrade again
Thank you for your help

I think when you installed that "almost new" hard drive, you should have
formatted the drive and re-installed Windows, Office, etc. just as if
you purchased the drive new from a store

I realize that...now. The question is what can I do now?

Just want to know.
Just want to know. Your older version of Office is a version that came
with your computer at the time or is it a version that you purchased
separately and then installed on your other compute

The older version of Office is also Office Basic Edition 2003.
The older version of Office is also Office Basic Edition 2003. It came with
the Dell computer. I believe we bought both in 2004. I have the original
disks for the crashed computer AND for the hard drive installed now.
Thanks for any help.

If I were in your situation, I would start over...format the drive and
install a fresh OS and a fresh Office. Who knows what other problems you
will encounter later by using a drive from a different PC. In general,
when you move a system drive from one PC to another, you always format
it. It's not worth the potential problems, in my opinion.

Just to let everyone know. This sight wasn't really helpful.
Just to let everyone know. This sight wasn't really helpful. Comments were
made, but no solutions. When someone posts, it is because they need help
NOW. Sure, I should have formatted the hard disk, I should've...hindsight is
20-20. No real solution was offered. However, I did get it to work and if
anyone else has this problem this is what I did and it worked. Uninstalled
Office Basic 2003. Rebooted. Installed MY OWN PERSONAL version of Office
Basic 2003. Rebooted. Installed Office Professional 2007 Upgrade. Rebooted.
IT WORKS!!!! Yippee!!!

Well dude...I guess you get what you pay for. And next time when you
post, click on the "I need free tech support that gives me a real
solution and not just comments" button. Looks like you forgot to do that.
RE: Office Professional 2007
1. You mean "site", not "sight".
2. You were given the solution.
You were told several times that you could not use the OEM version as a
qualifying product, you brag about getting it to work? You just
followed the advice given to you or don't you understand that's what
you did?
Anyway, glad it's working now.
