Hi Jan,
Are you also running the MS Expression Web Designer (EWS) preview?
If so, they use Esetupui.dll in place of the Office 2007 Osetupui.dll. If you're using Expression Web Designer be sure it's the
newer preview release from the end of may for it to be compatible with the Office 2007 beta.
If you have the most recent version of EWD then the setup routines may be getting confused and you may want to try these steps to
install Office 2007. Basically it extracts an Office 2007 CD image from the download in the necessary file/folder structure so you
can then run setup from that location rather than from the download.
===========
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.

Hello Bob,
thank you for your reply. I expected more responses to appear shortly after
I posted my plea but so far you are the only one. It seems like my situation
is very unique. Yes, it is indeed esetupui.dll with E and not O. I have the
Windows Installer 3.1 installed. I will try to analyze the log file as you
suggested. The problem is very mystifying. If you get any other idea on how
to resolve the issue, please let me know. Thank you.
