tmoller 5/13/2007 5:28:03 PM
I keep getting error 2203 when attmpting to install Office 2007. I have set
privileges in the Install folder and inhereited them down to all children, it
still happens.

Environment is XP Professional, SP2 - auto updates on, Lenovo - IBM - X40,
Office 2003 professional installed and running.

The first time I tried to install it clobbered Outlook 2003, subsequesntly I
succeded in installing just Outlokk 2007 from separate CD. Office 2007 still
will not install.

Hi customer,

** Collect information:
1. How did you try to install Office 2007 on the computer, installed
directly via the Office 2007 CD, or create an administrator installation
point, or others?

2. Send the Office setup log file to me at v-emilyl[ at ]microsoft.com.
------------------------------
1. Click Start menu-> Run, type "%Temp%" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box and press Enter.
2. Find the file "Microsoft Office 2007 Setup(****).txt" in the folder.
**** means the number.

At this point, please follow the steps below to see if it works.

Step 1: come into Windows clean boot mode to try to install Office 2007

and "Load Startup Items" check boxes. You cannot clear the "Use Original
Boot.ini" radio button.
Note: You can click the Normal Startup radio button to return to the normal
Windows Startup after the test.

3. Click the "Services" tab. Check "Hide all microsoft services", click
disable all. If the "disable all" is not available, please just skip it.
4. Click the "Startup" tab, click "disable all". If the "disable all" is
not available, please just skip it.

5. Click OK.
