Install Office 12 over Office 10?
There is a Knowledge Base article on uninstalling Office 2007 if the normal
uninstall fails. It is a big article, but it claims that if you follow the steps you can then install Office 2007. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us Cheers, Earle "Richard Mitnick" wrote in message ... Gordon- Egad, I could not fine a reply button. I actually made a new post, hoping you might see it. The history is: I tried both the Custom and Typical installs for Office 2007 with nothing installed. In both cases, the installer could not get past the Proofing Folder. I even copied the folder and its files to the C drive and tried to access them from there on the install. So, then, I installed Office XP, which went fine. But, O.K., now I am functional, but I still want Office 2007. That is what I use at work, some documents are, e.g., .docx, and I mean, you know, I paid for the suite. It was my error in uninstalling it in the first place I (It came pre-installed, it was my error to uninstall it, does that give any hints?). As I have said elsewhere, this is a big problem. It was recorded in this forum as early as March 2008, six posts, but no replies. Also, if one searches on Proofing.en-us, thisd thing is all over the internet, which no suggestions. Any help will be appreciated. Sorry, what I meant was, when the install starts you should be asked for a Typical install or a Custom install. |

Install Office 12 over Office 10?
Earl-
Thanks, but uninstalling Office 2007 is how I got in this mess. I am now trying to re-install Office 2007, and, apparently like many others, the install will not get past the Proofing.en-us\Proof.es\Proof.cab, and \Proof.msi files. Many people are having this problem, first replorted here back in March 2008. If you have a solution for how to get at these proofing files, that is what we need. I mean, even if I were to edit the registry and remove every trace of Office 12, that does not seem to be an answer.

Install Office 12 over Office 10?
Perhaps this is a different bug then. Have you contacted Office Support
yet? Installation support for Office 2007 is probably free. Earle "Richard Mitnick" wrote in message ... Earl- Thanks, but uninstalling Office 2007 is how I got in this mess.
