Can't install office 2007 professional on windows 7

[manuscripts]

I bought a new copy of Office Professional 2007 to install in Windows 7 laptop. When I try to start the installation it gives me this error “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000022). Click ok to close the program.” There is no other option rather than clicking OK.

Later I tried it to install in Safe Mode where it reaches till entering product key and accepting the agreement terms. As soon as I click on Accept, it stuck again with the error “Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2007 encountered an error during setup.” Again there is no other option rather than Clicking OK.

FYI, it is a new laptop that came with Home and Student but I removed it before trying to install Office Processional 2007. I checked the event viewer and there is mentioned “Failed to connect to server 0x8007043c”.

Any help please ?

Most probably such problems occur if you haven’t removed the pre-installed Trail version or any office suit that came pre-installed with your new system. Whenever you try to install any new Office suite make sure to first remove the eearleir version completely from the system. And in case you are using Trail than you need to uninstall the trial suite As Well As the Activation Assistant before installing the purchased version.

By the completely I mean to uninstall each and everything (files/fodlers/registry) before you want to install new one. To do this you can use Windows Installer Cleanup Tool because this cannot be done from Control panel. Hence you should check this KB describing How to uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if you cannot uninstall it from Control Panel? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179
