Ok, JoAnn, it's obvious that you are just a rude troll, so maybe you
need someone to point out some things that are obvious to most people
of at least average intelligence or better.
1) Internet forums are for sharing information and learning from other
people. Just because Microsoft doesn't provide support for a beta
product, doesn't mean that people should have any hesitation about
posting here to try to solve a problem. These forums aren't on
Microsoft.com, people aren't asking Microsoft for help, so just
freaking shut up about that. Let people try to figure out the problems
and solve them.
2) There is no reason that someone can't respond to a post that's 3
months old. If the information is still relevant, then there is good
reason to post and ask questions and try to resolve the problem. If
you have a problem with that, that's fine, but please troll somewhere
else
3) MVP isn't really that impressive of a title. It isn't that hard to
get, and publisher really isn't that tough of a product. If you had a
hard to earn cert, then I'd be a little more impressed. When I saw you
were putting your MVP for publisher on your sig, I really did laugh out
loud. If that's the only claim to fame I had, I'd be embarrassed.
4) This particular issue is continuing to occur even though the product
isn't in beta any more, and information posted in the thread has some
good information (minus your rants that detract). Although the post
was started 3 months ago, it still has relevant information and this
thread still comes up on google on the first page when searching for
the article. When I used the keywords Office 2007 "the installation of
this package failed", this was the second result. I just found them
today and had to weed through all your crappy posts, so even though you
were trolling months ago, this was my first exposure to the thread. The
internet stays around a lot, and just because you posted 3 months ago
doesn't mean that everyone else saw it at that time. You need to
smarten up about that and get off your high horse, and realize that
what you see as intellectual insults are just making you look plain
stupid. You are probably the only person that thought it was funny
when you insulted another poster asking them why it took them 3 months
to respond. everyone else was smart enough to realize that the person
just found the boards.
With that in mind, thank you everyone that has contributed useful
information. This thread has given me some good starting points,
although so far I haven't found a solution in here that works. I'm
going to try to do the manual extraction that was suggested though
since I haven't done it yet.
I'm trying to install the Office 2007 pro from the Launch 2007 event,
and it has the exact same issue many of you have been having.
And Joann, get a life. Despite your comments, I really doubt you could
teach anyone a thing or two about anything but trolling, although even
as a troll you are only mediocre. I've seen many trolls that are much
better. Get yourself some better certs or titles you can use besides
MVP for Publisher as well.
'JoAnn Paules [MVP said:

and don't
respond to posts that are three months old. Perhaps I could teach you
a
thing or two....or perhaps not. It's impossible to teach those who will
not
learn.
