So you've inserted the CDs and you get a dialog box that says "You cannt."

Hmm, I've never seen that error message before. Would you please try reading
that error message again and see if you didn't miss something? It could be
important.

 

[Peter Foldes]

Why can't you ??

Stlll, no excuse for sarcasm, right?

I'm at my wits' end myself. My trial copy of Office just stopped working
last night and now I'm getting variations on "can't find ProrWW.cab" and
"can't find Pror.WW\osetup.dll. I'm supposed to have until the end of
September with this trial.


Maybe the OP is too damn tired of hacking around to try to get his MS apps
to work to be more fully descriptive.

Being tired of fussing with computers is understandable however when you're
asking for help you need to understand that we are not sitting beside you.
We don't know what "It don't work" means to you. If you are too damned tired
to be more explicit, maybe we're too damned tired to give a complete answer.

Try running Office Diagnostics. If that fails, it looks like your trial
period is over..

If have a similar problem with installing MS Office Professional 2007. I
will be as explicit as I can be to resolve the problem. I've put the CD in
the CD tray, put the CD tray into the CD-ROM, entered the correct key code
and then a few minutes later, part way through the install a dialog box
propped up titled, "Browse for folder". In it is typed, "Setup cannot find
Pror.WW\Pror.WW.cab. Browse to a valid installation source, and then click
OK."

I know of no other installation source. My attempts to get it to accept the
folder on the CD labeled Pror.WW didn't work. I have checked the Internet
looking for the cab file to download all to no avail. I am getting
disparate. I need your help.

Please RSVP with my sincere thanks,

Can you copy the disk to your hard drive and run it from that location?

I am trying to install Home enterprise version of 2007 on XP. I have works 9
and when I put the CD in, nothing happens. I even tried to go to my computer
and open up the D drive and nothing shows up. I take the CD to work and
place it in drive and the istall box comes up. What is going on?

 

[Mary Sauer]

There is an utility that you download that makes Works 9 a qualified upgrade
product

Error message when you try to upgrade Works 9 or Works SE 9 to an upgrade
version of a 2007 Office suite

I feel so stupid. realized my home computer is only a CD drive- not a DVD.
So the install disks say DVD on them. So need to copy to a jump drive to
install. Thanks so much.
