Edo,
you can try (this is the long way around fix):
NOTE: back up what ever data you want to keep, just incase vista descides to
over write it instead of placing in the c:/windows.old directory.
preform an upgrade from what you have to home premium (which I Know uill
let you install office, ane it will work right), then from home premium,
after you finish your install of office, then upgrade again to your Vista
bussiness.
Yes You will probably need to find a serial # for home premium, if the key
you currently have does not give you a list after entring the key displaying
all 64 bit versions of vista asking which one you want to install. note, you
do not need to activate it ( it probably won't let you activate , but you
will be able to at least get office installed and working proporly then you
just upgrade to your liscenced vision of vista.
I don't know why Ms Has this problem with certin vista releases and don't
have a fix for it, leaving every one who does have this problem to suffer
through it..

Hi Trev,

Your idea sounds intriguing, but I can't find the area of "local
security policies" you mentioned below. I tried searching through the
help files to find it, and I can't find any hints related to
"administrator account status" in the Administrator Tools section of the
control panel. If you or someone else can help out, this idea sounds
like it would help with the never-ending "Please wait while Setup does
something-or-other" messages whenever I try to open an Office 2007
program.

Thanks,

Louise

I may have found a fix, but I haven't tried it, I solved the problem
by
taking the long way around about 2 days ago, I reinstalled xp and
loaded
office 2007 then upgraded to vista ultimate.
but what I found that may work (someone please try and let me know)
go to: control pannel > administrator tools > local security policies,
expand it and go to security options, then at the top(in the right
pane) you
will see "accounts: administrator account status" - it is set by
default to
disabled so enable it then you may need to restart your PC.
hopefully this works
I stumbled onto this while trying to change the vista login screen to
classic.
