I am running Vista (32bit) and MS Office 2007 on a new Dell. Office has always been a problem since I got the machine, and finally I chose to reload the factory image to get over the problems I was "enjoying", i.e. that Office won't open.
The problems remain as follows:
Whenever I try to open an application direct, e.g. Excel or Word - or - whenever I click on an Excel file or Word doc, I get a Configuration screen. After a short while, I then get the following message, and the Configuration process rolls back:
"Error 2203. An internal error has occurred. C:/Windows/Installer/57b38b.msi - 2147287008"...and suggesting I contact Microsoft PSS.
Sometimes, I get an Installation screen instead, with much the same message as above except that the reference is 673fe.msi - not 57b38b as above.
I tried to use Microsoft's "msiccu2" but got the message Internal error 2203...with the reference fb942f.msi.
Any thoughts anyone - before I throw the machine out of the window
