Office 2007 freezed on Preparing to Install screen
I am not able to install Microsoft Office 2007. I am using Windows Vista here. When I try to run the setup the installation just freezes on preparing to install. At first I thought this would take time, but it is not at all going ahead. Each time when I try to run the setup I am getting the same kind of issue. The setup is not at all moving ahead. I am trying to install Office 2007 Enterprise. Does this edition is cause of the issue or there is some kind of special settings required.
Re: "Preparing to Install" Message - ME TOO!
Hi, just Googled into this problem. I am not tech savy, just a writer and have this same reconfigure problem EVERY time I open Word. Driving me crazy.
Is it worth trying MS support?

Hi Guys
I had exactly the same problem. Managed to sort this out really easily by just making a shortcut to the office 07 programs manually. i.e right click on desktop, new shortcut. Just browse to the office program files.....C:\program files\microsoft office\office12. Might want to rename the icons if you want but its really as easy as that. Worked for me, so hope this helps.

Instead of replying to a dead 2 1/2 year old post, try starting a new thread
with the exact version of Office you're trying to install, the OS and
service pack you're trying to install it on and any error codes that pop up.
