Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"

[Aristidis Coumpas]

I downloaded the beta file OPPLUS-EN.EXE

All I get from the application is "The installation of this package failed"

I will also agree that there are serious installation issues: I have just
bought (10 EUR) the full 2007 package on DVD. No matter how many times I
tried, it has been impossible to install either 2007 OFFICE or parts of it,
for that matter...Installation may fail without explanation or - as it has
been the case with VISIO - the installer is unable to find some necessary
files. I already gave up...

That's definitely not a helpful post, as most of us clearly know the beta
contingencies of "no tech support/as is." Repeating the beta terms of usage
to users who are just trying to figure out how to install the product to
begin with only fuels the fire of frustration.

Clearly, if so many people are having problems with the installation alone
of this product, the signs of what's to come ahead if actually using the beta
product seem grim to me. Maybe a new beta 3 version will appear soon
correcting this problem.

And that's why a lot of us have no intention of getting Office 2007 until
it's been released and patched a couple of times. We already know there are
going to be problems - there always are.

There may or may not be another public beta release. Typically, with prior
betas, there is only one public release and all others are made available to
the technical testers. Microsoft has not made any announcements about this,
one way or the other.
