Did you look at what all features/functions you are installing or are you
just putting in the disk and hitting OK?

I have been using a copy of Office 2007 beta 2 until it expired. I need
little of it's functionality on my ome computer, so I uninstaled it an
went
to reinstall my original works suite 2005, which contains word 2002. All
of
the rest of the applications, including the word addins install and work
properly, but word 2002 does not. On looking at the folder, there is no
winword.exe file etc. I can get these to install by going into the folder
and
running word setup. On entering it has the word marked as unavailable.
this
can be changed and added in, but it remains non functioning, saying it is
unregistered and not available to the current user.
I have now installed and uninstalled this several times, having tried the
windows installer removal tool and using regedit to remove all of the
vestiges of office 2007 I can find. I think that there is something on my
system which is clearly making the installer think that I have a higher
version of word installed, so all of the addins etc install, but the
programme does not, as it isseen as a backward upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this- it's driving me nuts!
