Could not find Office 2007 Ultimate after downloading. Could't ins

[Newby]

Bought Office 2007 Ultimate from official looking Microsoft site. Shipped
from Digital River. Clicked on download button, Then clicked on save file.
When finished I cannot find the file in my C drive. It did say better to
download on DVD drive but it never gave me the choice. It automatically
downloaded to somewhere that I could not find. So far I cannot install the
program. Help please. Thank you.

And I suppose you did'nt pay extra for the DVD?
Location of file depends on your o/s, assuming you didnt change the default
location, eg Downloads or My Downloads
And when the download commences in the resulting progress window if you
untick the option to close the window on completion you could have run the
file from there.
Presumably once you have found the file you will burn it to dvd together
with a copy of the key and the receipt

Hi DL,

Now I know where I have posted the question: in set up and general question.

Yes I did not pay for the backup DVD. I am running on Vista. I did not
change anything because I could not change anything. Once you click save it
just go by itself. When it finished the window also closes by itself and I
cannot stop it either. I was prepared to burn the CD but since I cannot find
the file in my C drive anywhere I do not have a source file to burn the
required CD. Thanks for helping me.

Can someone help me with this problem because the time limit to download this
software is rapidly running out. I am not too sure how much this backup DVD
is but I am just a student trying get my head above water.

I've allready given you the likely locations, and ponted out that the
download window gave you various options
If nothing else you can run a search for file's dated as appropriate

I would suggest that if you aren't familiar enough with PC's to find
things that you download, the 20 bucks or so to get the backup DVD is a
pittance. We can't tell you where it is because we don't know where your
system is configured to put the file.

 

[db]

you might try installing
"free download manager"

then re download it via
the freeware and pay close
attention to the file name
and the location where the
freeware will place it.

The backup DVD is $10.00. Download the file again and write down in your
Notebook of Important Things the exact folder location. (You may not be
able to burn the Ultimate download to a CD because it will be too big. The
Enterprise download is 520 MB. I assume that the Ultimate download is much
bigger.)

We have all been there, "Just a student trying to get head above water".
That's why we are all super paranoid about where we put downloads and
immediately making multiple backup copies. ;^)

Open any web site that contains graphics. Right-click on any picture, and
choose Save Target As. Do not click Save. Instead, note the proposed
location--there's an excellent chance that this is where the downloaded
Office was placed.

One thing that might work:

Visit another site that offers downloads, click a download link, click SAVE when
offered.

MSIE should show you the path to the folder where it'll save the file by default
and allow you to change it if you like.

Note the path. With any luck, that's where your download from Digital River
went as well.

No joy.

When you save a picture, it wants to put the saved file in My Pictures.

And my earlier suggestion's equally useful.

And I just checked any old download link; that defaults to saving to some
apparently arbitrary directory (last place a file was saved to? current
directory? who knows!)

Here, it saves to the last location where I saved. Using Windows 7. When I
start a download of Office Ultimate, it goes to that location.

Oh, well.

Along those lines ... yep.

Ah, wait. It'll remember the last-used save location during the current
session but once you quit MSIE and restart, it'll go back to its defaults.
