urgent help!

[Simarpreet Singh]

I'm trying to install Office Enterprise 2007. When I try to
install, it gets about halfway through and then a dialog box pops up saying
"Setup cannot find setup.exe. Browse to a valid installation source, and
then
click OK". When I browse to the folder that contains setup.exe (which is
obviously the root directory containing the rest of the installation files &
folders), it keeps producing the same error.

I have tried installing from the CD, as well as copying all of the files to
a folder named "Office" which I put on my desktop (same error); then I moved
all the files into a folder I created and named C:\Office and got the same
error again.


Note: when I use the dialog box to browse to a folder that does NOT contain
"setup.exe", I get the error "Invalid location", whereas when I use the
dialog box to browse to the folder that DOES contain the setup.exe file, it
momentarily switches back to the installation screen until it errors again.


Please help!

1. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator

2. Insert your CD/DVD and stop the installation when it starts.

3. Navigate to the setup.exe on the disk and right-click and select
Properties and select the Compatibility tab and select "Run As Administrator"

Go from there. You shouldn't have to do that but, at least give it a shot
to see what happens.

tried it sir, but still getting the same error. i also tried another way by
turning on the compatibility settings and keeping it on winxp sp2.

By now your system might have several semi-installed files on there, so you
might want to follow these instructions to remove any and all 2007 files and
then reboot and reinstall. If you had any other version of 2007 then you
should also uninstall them.
