Problems installing Office 2007 beta

M

max de vries

a simple problem:
The installation of the Office Beta 2007 returns an error "the language of
this installation package is not supported by your system" ... and the setup
fails. It's a plain PC with XP sp2 installed.

Anyone knows what is going on?

Many thanks.

Hi Max,

See if these steps help.

===========
1. Use Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>Disk Cleanup
clear your Internet files and temp files.


2. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note the folder/path location.


3. Create a new folder on your PC and note that
folder/path location.


4. Use Start=>Run , and on a single line type in
the following (using the path & file names from Step 2 & 3)
and leaving out the brackets


"drive:\Step2PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.exe" /extract:"Step3path"


example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named Off2007ProB2CD1) the Start=>Run line would look
like this


"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"C:\Off2007ProB2CD1"


If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes) then


a. Backup your files and shutdown all other running apps and utilities including antivirus.
b. Run setup from your new 2007 Office system folder you
created in the previous steps


Else, if the extraction doesn't succeed then the download may be damaged/corrupted.
Use Start=>Run and type
%temp%
and locate the Setup-xxxxx.log
(file) just created and see if it has any clues on where the extraction failed.


Post back here with your results please.
