SP1 For office 2007 wont install

[DaveLiquid182]

I have downloaded service pack 1 for MS office 2007, but it keeps failing installation. Comes up with error code 78F.
Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

You not using a pirated copy are you?

You tried downloading the service pack again, might have a corrupt download.

I'm assuming your using windows update via internet explorer to download this, perhaps try this:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Its a standalone installer for what you require!

This may sound silly but play a DVD movie in the background whilst downloading via windowsupdate.com and apparantely it will download and install successfully!

No its not pirated. Bought it from pcworld after the 60 day expired. I have downloaded it several times, it just keeps failing installation. Yes was doing it through internet explorer, but my last attempt was through MS download centre.

It downloads but dont install

Have you an spyware/adware programs that might be interupting/blocking the install?

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Got AVG anti spyware.

Reboot your laptop, disable AVG then try download/install again!

 

[DaveLiquid182]

OK will do. From the download centre?

 

[DazG]

Through windowsupdate.com

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Well that didnt work.

Try uninstalling Office. Restart. Install. Update.
