Hello, am not here to ask anything but to post some tricks that will help people with the above mentioned error message. I faced this a week ago on my newly installed Windows 7 64 bit system when I was trying to install Office 2007 from the CD. Whenever I was trying to run the setup it use to give me error stating “setup cannot find setup.exe" though I can see the setup.exe in the root of my Office installation CD.
After a long research and troubleshooting finally I found the way that fixed it in minutes. I launched the setup manually, click on browser, pointed it to Windows Explorer > DVD Drive. I selected the setup.exe in the root of the CD. Right clicked the same and selected Windows XP compatibility mode. That’s it. My problem and this error solved.
