Then says "Browse to a valid installation source, then click OK."
I don't know what to do - not extremely technical.
Trying to install on a brand new computer with Vista. Used to be on my old copmputer that died.
For Office 2013
First unhide the hidden files in explorer then open c:/MSOCache when you open this folder it will ask for permission press ok to view. The error is because the permission is set to no in this folder, when you launch setup the first it creates this backup msocache for future installation that u dont do at first time, once you will open this folder then launch setup it will work.I have done this
Thanks

If your disc is in Drive "D". then click the browse button to the right and select "D" from the drop down list...you can tell the drive the disc is in by clicking on "My Computer" (can be found by clicking the start button) Look for the icon that has a disc on it, if office is loaded in the drive, the icon may even have something that says MS Office. That is the drive letter you have to select in the source box that is shown to you.
Try browsing to the disk source from where u are instslling thats may work
Hi there,
your computer is having difficulties in installing the enlish language pack for MS Office, perhaps due to the fact that the Windows Installer Software is not up to date or simply that part of the CD the file is on is not readable due to a scratch or other damage.It now is asking for another directory such as a CD to copy the file from.
To fix this, either:
-check the CD for scratches, carefully clean it.
-try installing from another CD/DVD-drive that perhaps has better read error correction capabilities,
-if installing Office from an online source and meeting this error,
download the newest Microsoft Installer Version here:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload
and retry installing the Office Package
Good luck!
There is nothing wrong with your disk and nothing wrong with your installer. I have different copies of Office 2007 and they all do this whether I install on XP or I install on Vista, etc.
Here is how to get around your issue:
Create a folder on your desktop called "Office.en-us". Find the same folder on the CD and copy "OfficeMUISet" to the folder on your desktop.
Re-insert the CD so that the setup starts again.
When it tells you it cannot find the file and wants you to select a folder, click on DESKTOP.
It takes a minute to get started but it will install just fine.
Thank you for publishing your solution. It worked! Although I had to copy four files from the disk to the desktop folder: OfficeMUI.msi, OfficeMUI.xml, OfficeMUISet.msi, OfficeMUISet.xml.
The problem came up when I was trying to reinstall Visio Standard 2010 Academic Version.

You download here : https://www.exefiles.com/en/msi/proplusrww-msi/
Just install in directory other than which already have the microsoft office files installed. Try to change the path with custom settings and you'll get it installed. Nice and easy!
All the files are present in setup. It seems to get confused with older Microsoft office directory already installed!
You are a life saviour

The source should be the CD is and that is what it seems to be pointing to but does not work. Keep getting the same message even if I try custom install of only one component (i.e. Excel).
