Office 2007 Final setup issue

Hi all,

Since last Friday (10th Nov), Office 2007 Pro Plus and Office Enterprise
2007 final edition are available on the MVL download site.

So I downloaded both to see the difference.

I'm under trouble trying to install it.

I double click the setup.exe, I enter the keys I got from the same MVL
portal and then I have the option of Upgrade and Customize the setup. I
choose Upgrade, then the install process starts and after about 5-6 sec I got
a Browse for foler windows asking me to choose the folder containing the
"Office.en-us\OfficeMUI.msi". I check the proposed folder but it seems fine,
to be sure, I point to the folder where the file is and the I got "Invalid
Location".

I tried many times, from DVD, from different folder location (even very
short folder name) without any luck.

Is anyone able to help with this one ?

Thanks

Hi Frederic,

What version of Office are you trying to upgrade? If it's a prerelease Office 2007 one, you may need to uninstall then restart
before installing Office 2007 release edition.

What version/update level of Windows are you using?

Hi Bob,

I'm running Office 2003 Pro SP2 on a Windows XP SP2

I'm trying to upgrade to Office 2007 Final version.

I never installed any beta on this particular machine.

If you found a site that has the final release version of Office 2007 then
I'd make sure that your antivirus is current and proactive. It's not
released to the public yet so you have some sort of an illegal version. No
way in H*ll that I'd put that on my system.

Hi,

Sorry to say the opposite ;)

It is available since yesterday on my eLicense site.

I'm open Value customer and I'm logged on with my Passport account and trust
me this is the real real final version.

I have Office Enterprise 2007 and Office Professional Plus 2007.

Microsoft is not used to deploy Beta version for Volume License customers ;)
well as far as I know.

Another possibility : this is an error from someone at MS ...

But I have the install source here 100% sure of what I say ...

Thanks anyway ;(

Microsoft just did a genius act. It released it to its Volume License
customers before it went live on TechNet or MSDN.
So, now the volume license customers come to these groups and ask for
help, and none of the MVPs have the RTM build yet, because we depend on
TechNet and MSDN.
Needless to say, none of the add-in developers have an RTM build as well
as none of the people who write all the Office books...

I am not amused, but thankfully MSDN/TechNet are scheduled to have it
tomorrow.

LOL. Doubt it. I am only running 2007, so I'll remove the beta versions
and install 2007, but not as upgrade.

Why don't you remove 2003 and then install 2007?

Are you able to run Add/Remove for Office 2003? I'm wondering if the
error is due to a setup issue for Office 2003 and the file it is
looking for is actually for Office 2003.

If that checks out then what happens if you select the Customize
option and specify the applications you want to remove?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Hi Frederic,

With no Office 2007 on the computer (and without seeing the log files) it's likely that there is some corruption in the download.
See if downloading again and comparing the actual (in bytes) file size matches exactly. This happened during the beta as well.
Office downloads would show as completed (correctly) and then turn out to have small glitches.

Hi Bob,

I'm running Office 2003 Pro SP2 on a Windows XP SP2

I'm trying to upgrade to Office 2007 Final version.

I never installed any beta on this particular machine.

Hi,

I've remove office 2003, I do not see the upgrade button anymore (luckylly)
but now, it still doesn't want to install anyway.

Another interresting point : Office 2007 dowloads have been remove from MVLS
sites !!!!

So I think it was a bad release !

Stay tuned for the next few days ...

Keeping you posted !
