I am trying to update my daughter's Vista computer from Office 2003 to Office 2010. I purchased and downloaded the Microsoft Office Professional Academic 2010 installer from DigitalRiver. Her computer is running Vista on a Dell Latitude E6400.
The installer chugs along for a while and even finishes up, then rolls back all the installed files and finishes with a very non-descript error message "Microsoft Office Professional 2010 encountered an error during setup". I turned on full logging and excerpted the message below.
I've tried lots of advice; turned off antivirus; renamed \ProgramData\Microsoft Help; uninstalled 2003; reinstalled 2003 and chose Upgrade in the 2010 installer.
