When I attempt to install Office 2007 I get an error message- error 25004.config.Xml not specified; A valid config.xml file must be authored when deploying '(null)'. What does this mean?
-   Same error message but there is no current version of Microsoft Office working. Had computer problem, HP took back to fix but wiped out the MS Works office files so I purchased again. Maybe a hidden file is the issue?-   yallcavae463

You need to uninstall any pre-release version of the Microsoft Office 2007 system .
it seems that if you have a version of the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in or Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS installed, this may be the culprit. In both cases, by performing an uninstall on this add-in via the Control Panel, and then installing Expression Web, everything works okay. You can even re-install the Office 2007 add-in when you're done.
uninstall the microsoft office from the control panel in vista ... it
will ask for a particular file... have it access that particular file
by showing the path.. then something will happen... but still the
microsoft office will remain in the control panel.... now re-install
the microsoft office and it will get installed.... this is how it
worked for me. Arun Premsingh R, CEO, www.kenriche.com.
The way I fixed mine was by doing a system restore, and restoring it back to before I had installed Office 2007 the first time and then I installed it again, and that worked for me.
I used support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/ to manually uninstall Office 2007 Home and Student. Once I followed each of the steps in the article, rebooted my system; the program would install again, otherwise half way through it would stop with error 25004 message. Hopes this helps anyone!

when I try to use mail merge in 2007, and complete the merge, it only pulls in the first three and last three records form my chosen database file. All files are the same so I believe that it is not the database and that it is the template doc in word. can you advise.. I did try to repair word 2007 by re-installing, but that did not work... possibly I have a conflict with another program installed....
My PC caught a virtumond virus. This was successfully removed but when trying to run any of the Microsoft Office 2007 programmes it comes up with error 25004 Config.xml not specified. A valid config.xml file must be authored when deploying '(null)' Attempts to reinstall the software meet with same error. What can I do??

I am having the same problem as everyone else with this config.xml thing appearing when I am trying to install Office 2007 Home and Student. The first answer DOES NOT WORK because I never had any pre-release Office software on my system, so I would really appreciate if someone else could look for another solution to this. I solved this problem myself once, but I cannot remember how I did it or figure out how to do it again.
I bought a Dell Laptop which runs on Vista and came with a preinstalled MS office 2007. After a month it suddenly stopped working. I was trying to uninstall the program from Control Panel but a msg pops up saying, "This product installation has been corrupted. Run setup from CD, DVD, or other installation device." So when i try to reinstall it starts to, but a little more than halfway through I get an error that says, " Error 25004.config.xml. A valid config.xml file must be authored when deploying '(null)'.
