Need help with Office 2007 disc on Windows 7 [SOLVED]
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have Windows 7 and an Office Ultimate 2007 64-bit disc from MSDN. I've used this disc many times to install on XP and Vista. For some reason I can't figure out how to install it now. When I insert the disc I get a list of applications on the disc and I see Office Ultimate, but when I open it I just go through a tree of files and I cannot seem to find the installation file. I seem to recall that when I popped the disc in there was a screen asking if I want to install but it's not there.
I'm sure this is something simple but in my old age I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Don't you have setup.exe amongst those files at all?

Yes. When I run it I get:
Setup cannot find the required setup controller file. Either there was a network error, an error reading from the CD, DVD, or other installation media, or a problem with the package you down loaded.

Whoa! Just for the heck of it I tried Start > Run and navigated to the setup.exe and it worked!

These are the files I've got on mine, excluding some I've added like Sounds, the Key, Save as PDF and the .iso

Weird hey, I always run mine from a USB drive.

Fixed! See above. I don't know why the setup didn't run by opening it directly but, oh well.
