You may have a trial version of Office already installed on your system and
by installing a kosher version, you have effectively corrupted your system
I suggest try to uninstall everything connected with Office 2007 from
Add/Remove in control panel; and then try to install again after you have
booted the system and you are in a better frame of mind. Please note: if
you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs then stay away from the
system for 24 hours.

If you can't uninstall Office in the traditional manner, then there is
always a manual manner. I suggest you better read this:

Let us know if this worked.

I've this problem twice now on two different computers. When I try to
install
Office 2007 Ulitmate on Windows 7 Ultimate, it lets me put in the CD key,
then it lets me customize my install (run all on this computer), but when
it
goes to the actual install, I get back an error "Office source engine has
stopped working". No code or anything. It does give the option to either
close the program or check for an onlin solution. I've let check for an
online solution, but as usual with this option, nothing came back. I can
install Office 2007 Ultimate on an XP machine (haven't tried it on Vista,
but
I think it works). And other versions of Office will install on the
Windows 7
Ultime. It's the combo of Office 2007 Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate
(haven't tried other versions of Windows 7, but would assume the same
problem) that does not work. I've updated .NET 3.5 SP1 thinking that might
be
an issue, but that didn't help either. I believe this to be a Win 7 issue.
Any assistance would be appreciated. BTW, there are nor were any other
versions of Office and this was a fresh install of Windows 7.

Thx,
Mark.
