Trouble installing Office 2007 Professional

[CSK]

Have a new Dell computer loaded with Windows 7. Tried installing Office 2007
Pro; went all night and hardly moved. Tried again with same results. Third
time it would not even recognize CD. Downloaded a trial version from the
Microsoft website, and tried to convert with the product key. Message said
invalid product key. Just tried loading on my wife's ThinkPad with Windows
XP Pro; loaded about half way, then got this message: Setup cannot find
ProPlus, WW\ProPlsWW.cab Browse to a valid installation source, and then
click ok. Did not know what to do, and ended up cancelling. Any help would
be appreciated.

Where did you get the Pro Plus version of Office from?

If you have a retail license key for Office Professional you can download
Office Professional from http://www.microsoft.com/office/downloads/

You must uninstall all trial version/s along with activation assistant and
reboot prior to installing a retail version. As you have had so many failed
installations you may want to run the Office installer cleanup utility
first. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

The version of Office you have (Professional Plus) is an enterprise only
SKU. As such, apply to your employer or school from whom you acquired the
software for support.

Purchased from ebay. Came completely sealed, with intact certificate of
authenticity. All labels say that it is Office Professional 2007, not Pro
Plus, including those on the disk. Any insights?

packaging looks the same as that in the stores. Any insights would be

Look over the web site here: http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/

If everything looks genuine it probably isn't if it was from eBay. Lots of
scam artists there.

If it is a true retail label look at the web site that I posted in my
original to you.
