Office 2007 Final setup issue

Hi Frederic,

I downloaded them while they were still on MVLS and have been distributing
Office 2007 to my test lab all weekend. I've done upgrades, new
deployments, unattended deployments, customisations etc with no problems.

I don't think it was a bad release. I suspect you are just unlucky and have
a problem on that particular machine.

Hope the next try goes better. :)

Cheers,
David

Hi David,

You were absoutely right : I've just installed it succesful on my laptop. It
seems my desktop computer needs a bit of Windows refresh ... waiting for
Vista to re-install it !

Thanks a lot for your suggestion ;)

All the best for each of you with the new 2007 suites.

Cheers.
