Greetings
I am attempting to deal with error number Error 1719 as described (by me) in this post in Windows 7 Forum :
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...134-da7e-4da5-b087-5e53a1c1dbed?prof=required
The moderator there suggested that I post further here. Since then I have:
1. Done a repair install of W7 and retried Office install - at that point error 1719 turned into error 1935.
2. Disabled Windows Firewall and disabled MS Essenstials security and retried - at that point error 1935 turned into Error 2908. Some posts suggest this may be the result of previous office versions (none on this machine) or left over office files from previous install attempts. Remedy is apparently here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/5a58ae63-2565-4d6a-99ab-c23989621a9f/
3. Uninstalled Expression Studio which is actually not listed as part of Office in Office setup, but just in case it has shared files and since FP was at one time an Office component.. Still error 2908. and the first step is to run the Install Cleanup Utility.
4. Downloaded and ran Install Cleanup Utility
At this point I an stuck because there are a number of items in Control Panel Programs that might possibly be Office related but I cannot find a definitive list of Office program names that should be uninstalled and/or 'cleaned'.
Before I give up and start hacking away at the registry, do a clean W7 install (arg....) or just start uninstalling things until it works, does anyone have any definitive guidance on either error 2908 or specifc program names that should be removed?
BTW - Although this is a new machine and no other Office versions were installed on it prior to this however I did make an attempt to install Office 2010 from an ISO file that included both x86 and x64 versions. I encountered the original 1719 before then going to the plain 32-bit .exe file (both from MSDN).
VS 2010 and SQL 2008 are also installed and I don't know whether either (SQL?) have office-shared files that would be involved.
Thanks for reading -)
