Tried to download 2007

[JAM]

I thought I downloaded. It told me to reboot and I expected to start using
2007, but nothing. Where do you find the place you put in the product key.
I went back and now I have 3 keys.

After downloading it did you install it? You need to install it after downloading the Trial versions. Find the location on your Hard Drive as to where you downloaded it to and use the exe file there to install it

I'm sure this sounds dumb but what would the name of that exe file be? It
was running so smooth I thought it was automatic and it did download part of
it, just not word, outlook, etc. It did set up the accounting file.

It depends... I've tried downloading eleven times now. Here's the deal:
There are two buttons. The first button purportedly downloads the Office Pro
install. Sometimes you'll get an executable file: x12-30196.exe. Be aware,
most of the time, this downloads without the '.exe' extension. I've tried
renaming the file to make it executable, but that doesn't seem to work. Many
hours, many attempts, no luck.

In case you're wondering what the second button is for, that will download
Office Accounting software - something that was not even discussed at the
launch tour last week, and isn't noted in the Launch 2007 Resource Kit. This
product installs great! Too bad I'm not interested in a product that I knew
nothing about beforehand.

Hi Guy,

Are you leaving the page with the downloads on it open in your browser or using browser history to return to the download page?

If, on Windows XP, you right click on one of the downloads for Office 2007 Professional Edition CD#1 and look at the properties tab
tghe 'size on disk' should be 407,011,238 bytes. If the size varies from that then you may have one (or more) corrupted downloads.

Be sure to delete the corrupted ones (clear the recycle bin as well).

If, in Windows explorer the file does not show the 'setup' style icon (a PC and a software product box) then right click the file
and add
.exe
as the last part of the file name before proceeding.

CD#2 has the MS Office Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager add-in and the MS Office U.S. Accounting software).

Before downloading are you clearing the temp folder, the temporary internet files, and the recycle bin
Start=>Programs=>Accesories=>System Tools=>Disk Cleanup
then restarting the and shutting down other apps/utilities including any download 'helper'/accelerator products)?

What version of Windows, and hardware are you using? What else is running when you try to do the extraction of the Office 2007
downloaded trial copy.

================

It is interesting that the program should be so hard to install; especially
seeing it does intall a couple parts with no trouble but not the basic office
components.

I have just given up not only on the trial idea but I don't plan to upgrade
either. I will let others crash and loose matrial all for the sake of making
Microsoft richer. Tomorrow the new version is availible in stores; I wonder
if it will be as hard to install?
