SOURCE: having problem installing office 2007 on Microsoft office Vista

Hi Noglao, I have experienced similar problem with my Office 2007 installation, I believe its a problem with the CD itself, there might be a scratch or something that is blocking this file from being read. Maybe even a manufacture error since I had the exact same problem with the same file. In the end I had to copy the disk to my hard drive and I moved it to a share folder on my file server. I mapped this share folder to a root(z:) on my workstation. I ran it from there and it worked just fine. If you don't have a server or can't map a folder for some reason I suggest trying another installation CD, or copy the files to your computer, burn a new CD and try it again with that CD. Good luck Daniel

Can't activate microsoft office home & student 2007

Once Microsoft Office 2007 has been installed with no product key, proceed with the following steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\
2. Right click on Proof.XML file, select “Open With…” in the right click menu.
3. In the “Open With” window, select Notepad to be used to open the XML file. In Vista, if you can’t see the Notepad option, simply double click the “Other Programs” to unhide it.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Proof.XML to locate the following lines:
</Feature> <Feature Id=”SetupXmlFiles” Cost=”1248′>
<OptionRef Id=”AlwaysInstalled”/>
</Feature>
5. Change the AlwaysInsalled to neverInstalled so that the line looks like following:
<OptionRef Id=”neverInstalled”/>
6. Save the Proof.xml file. In Windows Vista, you may need to take ownership and grant full access permission to yourself before able to modify the file.
7. You can now launch Microsoft Office 2007 application such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and etc without prompting for activation.
