I have just bought a copy of Microsoft Project Professional 2007. When I try to install it I get as far as Install Now. When I click on the button nothing happens for a few moments and I then get the message ‘Microsoft office project professional 2007 setup has stopped working’ with a further message ‘A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available’. I then don’t get any further message after the setup program closes down.
I can’t find any helpful information on the Microsoft website or in previous threads on this topic. Because I haven’t installed the product I can’t give Microsoft a PID number and so don’t qualify for free technical support. (I can’t believe they charge £46 for email technical support!) The retailer Software4Students is no help at all.
I’m running Windows Vista home premium service pack 2. I’ve tried disabling Norton anti-virus, user account control and data execution prevention. None of this works. I have not had a previous retail or trial version of Project installed on the machine.
Any advice would be much appreciated...even if it's 'download OpenProject instead'.
