Microsoft Documents Imaging won't install

[Dagre]

I have 3 XP Pro machines that were running Office 2003 Pro. We upgraded to
Office 2007 and MDI disappeared. On two of the machines after running
through the routine of Add Remove>Change>uninstall MDI under Office Tools and
then reinstalling through that same procedure (with no success) I had to
uninstall Office 2007 completely and reinstall. That was successful. On
the third machine none of this has worked. MDI will not install. I have
used different source media with no success. Anyone have any ideas?

Office 2007 doesnt set MODI as the default application for .Tiff/Tif/Mdi
files.

This is by design.

I would bet that if you goto start, programs, Microsoft office, Microsoft
Office Tools you will find microsoft document imaging there. If this is the
case... it is installed it is just not the default app for your tif/tiff/mdi
files.

If you wish to make it the default app for those file extensions copy the
following text into a .reg file and import it.

Hi Eric. MODI was not in Start>Programs>Microsoft Office>Office Tools, but I
did find out what I was doing wrong. In Add/remove>Office2007>Change, when I
expanded Office Tools I was choosing "Run from My Computer". It would act
as if it was installing but wouldn't. I went through uninstall/reinstall
and chose "Run All from My Computer" and then every thing worked. Why? I
have no idea, but current problem is solved. Thanks for answering.
