Office 2007 "The installation of this package failed" error.

[Just Guessing]

I downloaded Office 2007 Ultimate from the Microsoft website. In fact, I've
downloaded it three times. When I try to install, I get a "The installation
of this package failed" error. This happens shortly after or during the
extraction phase. I have administrator rights on the Windows XP Home
computer. I already have Word, Excel, and Outlook 2007 on my computer, I'm
trying to get the "full package". My hard drive is not encrypted.

Thanks!

Nonetheless, did you try the steps in this article?

I get the same error when I try to install the Office update "the
installation of this package failed". I uninstalled the old version of
Office 2007 (Professional), but am still having an issue installed Office
Ultimate from the file I received from Digital River. I even tried
installing it on a different computer with Windows Vista Home Premium - same
error. I know encryption is not an issue because I am using Windows XP Home.
XP Home has no encryption feature.

Maybe this Digital River offer is a rip off. They have no support other
than suggesting to search the Microsoft knowledgebase.
