Office Pro Plus 2007 reinstallation problem

[Sarah]

Hi -
I purchased my copy of Office Pro Plus 2007 from my university last year. My
computer had a meltdown last week and I had to reformat the hard drive,
reload windows, etc. (it was a joy; hours on the phone with Dell).

My problem is this - when I tried to reinstall Office Pro Plus 2007 (from
the disk I purchased from my university) on my computer, it can't seem to do
it. I'm getting a message that says "Setup cannot find
Office.en-us\OfficeLR.cab. Browse to a valid installation source, then click
OK. I've tried everyplace that's listed, but all come up as "invalid sources".

I haven't had any trouble reinstalling anything else onto my computer. And
the product key seems to be accepted every time. It's just when it gets to
the "Installation Progress" page that this message comes up.

Anyone have advice on what to do?

Thanks

Did you upgrade a previous version of Office before? If so, can you install
that one and then upgrade again? I've seen that listed as a fix.

There's another article here with more involved information that might be of
some use....seems to be not an uncommon problem:
