Hi Everyone. I installed Word and PowerPoint a few weeks ago, and I want to now install Entourage. So I re-ran the installer ("/Volumes/Microsoft Office 2008/Office Installer.mpkg"). It didn't give me any options for selecting Entourage. Instead it just kicked off an installed *everything*, including Word and PowerPoint. Crap. This is very upsetting as I DON'T want messenger, excel, etc.

Adding insult to injury, the program asked if I wanted to install the update ("Install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update"), WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE. I thought it might know something I did't, so OK'd the update installer. Guess what? It failed with this message: "You cannot install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update on this volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."

Does anyone know what I should do next? Do I completely uninstall office (if that's even possible") or is there some way to fix this?

I am really, really unhappy. Any help would be great, thanks.

matt
