Trying to install Office Home/Students 2007 on new Dell laptop with
Vista Home Premium. Early in installation get error message "Setup
cannot find Excel.en-us/ExcelLR.cab file" and it shows a file dialog box
to choose the right directory to "Browse to valid installation source."
I have no idea what to choose. I THOUGHT I PURCHASED THE VALID
INSTALLATION SOURCE. This is very frustrating as I expect newly
purchased software to correctly install on new computer. If this doesn't
install on new computer where the heck will it install? What can I do to
correct this problem? HELP!!!! Thanks,
dpdave

Your installation source is your cd/dvd drive

BTW Did you uninstall any trial version & activation assistant first?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that and it keeps coming back to
the same dialog box with the same error message.
Don't know that there is a trial version on the computer and not sure
what activation assistant is.

You examine your Dell documentation to asertain whether it was supplied with
a trial, or you look in Vista's version of Add/Remove software
Or simply type Word in Vista search

Hello to dpDave,

Tring to load the office 2007 cd with no luck at all. I've picked the
cdr disk drive letter as to where the file it can't find but it still
comes back and ask for it againg or asks for a different file. I even
tried to direct it to a different drive letter but that didn't work
either. PLEASE help I'm going nuts. I even tried to load the program
without the Note One portion? But guess what no luck

I'm 60 years old and right now I fell every day of it and I'd like to
use the programs before I have to go into the nut house.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Sugandhial Panshi,

dpdave died on 30th January, 2009 but because you didn't know about this in India I thought I better inform you this.

Are you still active on that forum? I thought you'll find something else better to do during the lockout in India but clearly you like google groups.
