How do I get rid of the activation error in office 2007?

Posted: 24 May 2006 08:35 AM PDT

This is also happening to me.. it tries to activate then says I don't
have an internet connection. What a way to launch a new beta release!

anyone else gotten "The following apps should be closed..."

Posted: 24 May 2006 05:42 AM PDT

Yeah, got that this morning when I installed it on this partition - XP Pro,
everything shutdown to near safe mode and then installed and it came up
again. A bug methinks but only in XP 32 bit, I installed onto XP 64 bit pro
and no messages but that was a clean install not upgrade.
I'm using an AMD 64 x2 dualcore system

Problem with french install

Hi,

There is a problem with the French download.

If you try again in a few hours the problem will (hopefully) be fixed.

Product activation from behind a proxy server needed

The problem appears to be the activation servers.

Keep trying but you may be better to wait a little until the load goes
down.

Hi,

The servers for activation are very heavily loaded at present.

Either keep trying to activate (if you feel you have to straight away)
or wait until a quieter time (for products where you are allowed
multiple starts before activation).

Office 2007 beta 2 german installation doesn't work

Hi,

I don't have a tidy answer. Quite a few people trying to install
German beta 2 experience the same problem (even after repeat
download).

But I know of at least one person who claims successful install of the
German edition.

The language of this installation is not supported by your system

Posted: 23 May 2006 11:12 PM PDT

I downloaded the Beta 2 on msdn.microsoft.com, english version.
When I run the beta 2 setup, the first alert is "The language of this
installation is not supported by your system".
So, there was no option for selecting an email address :-(
I extracted the files from the ISO file to my harddisk. One thing I have to
mention is dat I uninstalled Office 2007 pre-release by Add/remove programs.

uninstall Office 2007 beta

That is exactly what I was looking for. As I do have a legal version
of the beta program. I am including a link to where to get the
uninstaller should anyone else needs this app.

If you have the option to install Office 2007 Beta 2 on a test machine
I think that would be preferable.

I know that some people have Beta 2 running alongside Office 2003 but
there is always some risk involved. Of course, you won't be able to
run two versions of Outlook on one machine.

I haven't installed side by side yet, personally, but will probably do
so fairly soon, assuming that Beta 2 looks really stable during
initial testing on a test machine.

Cannot Launch c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe

Posted: 22 May 2006 05:38 PM PDT

Yes, I will follow original post. Having never used this service before, i
wasn't sure which category of the thousands to post on.
Is this suggestion somehow implicit in your statement? :
1. find msiexec.exe on the original Office2000 Cd (if possible),
2. copy it over the file of the same name now residing on c:\windows\system32

Is that what you are saying?
Thanks again

I would suggest dumping that trial version. It was already installed.

I lost my key code how do I reinstall my software?

Plain and simple - Consumers need to know what they are buying. If you don't
look into how you are spending your money and you don't get what you need,
then whose fault is it?

MS Office 2003 Pro activation on rebuilt computer

Thanks very much for the reassuring response.

That quite relieves us as we were not quite sure if the OS change would mean
a totally different computer!

Regards and thanks again.

Reload Office after upgrade? Files in Hard Drive, but some gone?

Posted: 20 May 2006 07:44 PM PDT

I wont go into the rights and wrongs, other than comment that PC suppliers
rarely explain the difference between OEM and retail software.
However there is nothing you can do without the cd.
Assuming you have other cd's that were supplied with your sys you might try
contacting Dell again and point out that as you have all the other cd's and
the office cd is the only one missing, its likely that this cd wasnt
supplied. In any case as your sys, you say, isnt that old I would have
thought they would offer a replacement cd, should yours get damaged. BTW I
would.nt mention anything about upgrading, other than adding a hd.

Should I uninstall Works 7.0 if I upgraded to office 2003?

Posted: 20 May 2006 10:54 AM PDT

Additionally to what G&O said, ensure you keep your Works 7 CD in case you
ever need to reinstall. It is the qualifying product for your upgrade and
the upgrade will not work without it.
