Solve : Problem installling Office 2007?

1.	Solve : Problem installling Office 2007?
Answer» I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file. At first I could not perform a clean INSTALL of it on my Vista laptop, but I INSTALLED Office 2003 and then used the DVD to upgrade it, so I then had Office 2003 and Office 2007 side by side. Just this evening I removed Office 2003. So I tried to open Outlook 2007 to set up my Hotmail, and I can launch the program but keep getting errors when I go to 'Account Options'. The error message advised me to restart Outlook and reinstall if the problem persists. I tried repairing the installation from the DVD, but that resulted in a Microsoft bootstrapper error. I am now attempting to repair the installation through the Repair option in Add/Remove Programs. I've looked for help on this ISSUE and have found nothing. I can probably use Office 2003 but I paid a lot of money for Office 2007 and I'd like to use it.Quote from: MBP1982 on March 12, 2009, 11:40:01 PM I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file.

Did you buy it twice? From whom did you buy it (for both DVD and download)? Did you pay a normal price for it or was this one of those super low priced deals that SOMETIMES appear on the Internet? I bought it from my school store - it was a download, and I also opted for a 'backup' disk, of which was Office 2007 'unlicensed'.
