Typically the message is:

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\App lLaunch.exe" cannot access
a necessary file, "msvcr80.dll"

where "ApplLaunch.exe" is a different exe file in each entry.

If you hve ms office 2010 product with you, open that cd using your dvd drive, open the cd you will find a setup (.exe) file, and run that file. It wll take quite time to install. just click next button till it get installs.

download dwtrig20.exe

The file that your installation setup is looking for is the "Doctor Watson" launcher (dwtrig20.exe). From the error message you posted, setup is looking for the file on you installation media in the U.S. English directory "office.en-us".

What all of this means is that your installation media is probably corrupt. If this is a legal copy of Office, you should be able to get a replacement disk from MS at no cost. If you have a friend with a copy of the disk, you can borrow it to complete your installation. You would just use your own registration code.

If this is a pirated copy of Office, corrupt files are common. You're on your own in that case

I'm assuming this is a windows vista or windows 7 operating system because they will ask you for administrator rights.
Go to where the installation file is.
Right click on the Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007
Click Run As Administrator
Click Continue
This should give you permission to install the application.

Return the disk to the seller. Also microsoft support ofgfer free help on new installations. If all else fails Get the free openoffice software that does evertyhing MS does and more reads. wreites and saves in MS formats and can be used on more than one PC and costs zilch!

Its a corrupt file and its common to office xp too.

Usually you would stick your installation disk in and let it auto-start. when it offers to install you would click yes

it should then say you already have it do you want to repair

say yes and let it do its stuff.

do not do any office updates just yet but verify that office does indeed work properly again

if so then you should make sure your office is fully updated

this usually means it can't find the file on the CD/DVD, either the CD is dirty or bad, clean the disk and try again,
