Hi Garreth,
Is this the MS Office 2007 ProPlus beta 2 you're working with?
Assuming this is the first 2007 Office product you're installing, and you're installing on a version of Windows XP (which includes
Media Center), see if these steps help.
===========
1. Use Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>Disk Cleanup
clear your Internet files and temp files.
2. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note the folder/path location.
3. Create a new folder on your PC and note that
folder/path location.
4. Use Start=>Run , and on a single line type in
the following (using the path & file names from Step 2 & 3)
and leaving out the brackets
"drive:\Step2PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.exe" /extract:"Step3path"
example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named Off2007ProB2CD1) the Start=>Run line would look
like this
"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"C:\Off2007ProB2CD1"
If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes) then run setup from your new 2007
Office folder. (Be sure to backup your files and shutdown all other
running apps including antivirus software before starting 2007 Office setup)
If the extraction doesn't succeed then the download may be damaged/corrupted.
Use Start=>Run and type
%temp%
and locate the Setup-xxxxx.log
(file) just created and see if it has any clues on where the extraction failed.
Post back with the results please.
===========
I am running Media Center with SP2. I downloaded the beta and when I try to
launch the EXE I get:
only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory request was completed
And then it simply stops.
Re-booted, tried the PIO stuff suggested on other sites, but since I am not
installing from a CD that didn't help. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.>>
