I am trying to install office 2007, well I only need excel 2007, on a Server 2003 R2 SP2 64bit edition.
When you run setup.exe it starts to load then exits with an error before starting to install.
I have tried a few different versions: Professional, Small business and downloaded the installers a number of times so I know they are not corrupt.
I get errors like this when I try and install:
