Hi

I have a Microsoft office 2007 Pro Plus, english version, and have the
Multilanuage Proofing tool DVD set, and is trying to make a silent
installation af danish proofing to the office installation.

If I run the installation manual, and only select danish, everything work's
fint, but how to make a silent installation of danish proofing.

If I run the Proof.da\Proof.msi file, I get following error :

Error 1713: Setup cannot isntall one of the required products for Microsft
Office Proof (Danish) 2007

What is missing ?

Office 2007 Upgrade won't recognise previous version

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 04:45 AM PST

Hello Penny

I am having similar problems and would appreciate an answer. Some
background of my case:

Outlook keeps crashing
Tried to use repair from control panel, add/remove programs - it says
"product installation is corrupted, reinstall".
If I try and reinstall, I have same issue as you, it comes up with "the path
you have chosen does not have a qualifying upgradeable product".

I have tried office 2003, XP and 200 CDs and even tried installing works
7.0. It neither recognizes the CDs nor the installations.

I found a Knowledge Base article giving the details that Carey gave, but
this does not reflect exactly what I see eg:
Enter the product key and click OK - I only see a continue box
In the Product Compliance Check CD Key box... I don't see anything that
tells me that is what it is called, I get a window that is titled "Locate
your earlier version of Microsoft Office". And again no OK box, just a
continue.

This might seem like pedantry, but it would suggest that what I am seeing is
not what is being described.

At the moment I am seriously regretting the "upgrade" to 2007 and wondering
if I can get a refund for all the copies we bought for our company.

Best Regards

Ashley

Office Trial Activation Trouble

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 10:25 PM PST

My computer did come with one, but I just got the computer a week ago, and
the trial version that came with it worked for about 2 hours, but after I had
closed Office and tried to use it again, that trial version gave me exactly
the same message even though prior to that it had told me my trial would
expire till april.

Since you already have Office 2003, why do you need to buy anything other
than the upgrade? I assume you have disks.

Re-installing Download

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 02:36 PM PST

I suggest try this link to read what Microsoft has to say about
replacement CDs. You will need to speak to somebody at MS and explain
to them so that they can help you get replacement CDs for your installed
products.

Hope this proves useful.

Set Default Office Font with GPO ?

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 12:54 PM PST

Hi Thomas,

Not really, there isn't a single setting for that. Each app has its own method for defining default styles and the fonts that go
with them, and there are settings for each of these. You haven't mentioned the version of Office you're using. You may want to
have a look at the Office Resource Kit (ORK) for the version you're planning to deploy.

Re-installation of Office 2003

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 01:36 AM PST

No, since this is a migration across versions I would recommend to
reconfigure manually. This is a far less painless process than fixing all
sorts of weird issues later. You'll need to start with a new pst-file anyway
when you want to take advantage of the new UNICODE file format.

Enabling other language in office 2007

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 01:51 PM PST

Hi Richie,

The F6 key works during the conversion process when the IME is active.
Normally F6 in Word is the 'Next pane' accessibility key in Office 2007 ('Other Pane' in Office XP and 2003) and seems to take
precedence, but you may want to use the link below to also post in the MS Word International features group. I usually just switch
from the IME toolbar after assigning a keyboard shortcut to switch to the Japanese keyboard in Windows control panel as mentioned
previously. When switching to a Japanese keyboard that pops the IME toolbar into view.

Office 2007 long installs

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 12:52 PM PST

Hi Kelli,

MSP patch files in Office setup aren't supported if you're using GPO deployment. Both types of installation are covered in the
Office 2007 resource kit at http://microsoft.com/office/ork
If you're using a GPO deployment then the customizations basically take place in the product config.xml files and in the scripting.

===========
<<"Kelli" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
Can you explain how you did this? I am trying to get my silent install
working without much luck. I have a GP with a startup script for the
computer configuration. The Bat file reads: \\server\it\office2007\setup.exe
and is located in the correct location within the sysvol folder.

I have created the .MSP file and it's located in the
\\server\it\office2007\updates\ folder. I have heard of people modifing the
XML file but I'm not positive I need to.

I am trying to install Office 2007 Std. >>

Installing / Reinstalling / Adding - Office / Media audio

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 09:48 AM PST

Hi K.C.,

It's possible that it's a Vista or Media Player rather than Office issue.

I'm able to play all of the 19 sounds (many with 'zero' length in Nero Showtime, Windows Media Player and Irfanview as well as when
inserted into a Powerpoint 2007 slide. In Irfanview, for example, the shortest actual length is 0.1 seconds for click.wav and
arrow.wav while Media Player reports them as 00:00. You may want to check to see what result you get with Irfanview,
http://irfanview.com

You may want to use the link below to also post this in the MS Office Powerpoint discussion group.

======================
<<"KC" <com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
PP 2007 seems to play a couple which have properties "length" greater than zero. The audio files with property "length" = 0 don't
play.
It's a hunch that this is the problem. There are a couple of posts on this subject in the net.

Office 2003: Custom Installation Wizard Settings Will Not Apply

Hi Bob,

Thanks for looking at my post and replying. I may have missed some
details in my post, due to my frustrations in not being able to put
together a relatively simple package.
Yes, Terminal Services was installed in Applications Server mode -
these servers are going to be part of a Citrix 4.5 farm. Citrix 4.5
has also been installed. My machines are newly built Dell 1955 blade
servers. I followed KB311241 closely. This was a fresh install of
Office 2003. Again, I chose 'Not Installed, Locked and Hidden' for
the components I did not wish to install. I also chose 'Do not migrate
previous installation,' even though this was a squeaky clean
installation.
The command line I used to install the package was:

msiexec.exe /i "Z:\OFF11\pro11.msi" /t "Z:
\OFF11\CtxOfficeTrans.MST" /qb-

BTW, after this installation, if I run the Custom Maintenance Wizard,
I can un-install the components that I don't want. However, I would
prefer a clean server, hosting cleanly installed apps and no leftover
crumbs from un-installed applications.

Thanks again,

Bob W.

Office 2007 Reactivation

Posted: 14 Feb 2008 03:40 AM PST

Thank you for your response.

Please accept my apologies for not mentioning that the troubleshooting
suggestions contained in KB919895 had already been tried, but much of what is
contained in that article did not seem relevant to this issue.

The only symptom experienced is that the Activation Wizard fails to start
and that no error message is received (as mentioned in OP)

However, results obtained were as follows:

Method1: The time and date settings on the computer are correct.

Method 2: Options>Resources>About reports that the version is Home and
Student and that it is licensed.

Method 3: Deleting Opa12.dat does not enable the Activation Wizard to start.

Method 4: The internet connection is functioning normally.

If you are able to make any further suggestions, these will be much
appreciated.

TIA

1618 error doing multiple Office 2007 component installs

Posted: 12 Feb 2008 03:32 AM PST

Both the batch and the SMS packages (2003 SP3) fail with same 1618 error.

Not sure HOW "same" I can put VISIO, Project, and SPS Designer into the
suite location... I have a folder named VISIO that is added into the copy of
the Office 2007 CD, which is just copied up to the network--it's at the same
level as the Suite's Updates folder. Project and SPS Designer are same way.

Thanks.

Enterprise 2007 install problem

Posted: 11 Feb 2008 05:09 AM PST

Hi Tom,

What program did you use to extract from the ISO? There have been problems with, for example, some flavors of Nero.

===============
<<"Tom" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
Rebel,

I am sorry I cannot help you.

But I have the same problem installing MS Project 2007 Professional. On my
desktop running XP and my brand new laptop running Vista I have the same
error message regarding .cab files.

I have tried installing from the desktop as well as the CD. My copy is also
legit and the files do exist on the installation folders. The program just
will not open them and says it is an invalid location.

Just curious, did you extract this from an ISO? That is what mine is, and I
am wondering if that may be the problem.

I have searched everywhere for a solution but can't find anything.
