    Error message when trying to open any Office prog.


    Lost my Office program after repair/clean install

    Version:Office 2007
    Operating System:Windows 7 64 bit


    Im getting the following error message:

    ERROR: This package could not be opened. Contact the appplication vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package.

    I recently had serious problems with my PC and had to do a clean install, I was told that it would keep all my files and documents and repair any problem with windows (windows 7 64 bit) But after doing this is seem I have lost all my microsoft office programs. I get the following error message when I try to open these programs.

    Thanks in advance,

    Can you see Microsoft Office listed from - Start, then All programs?

    If so, touch Microsoft Office, then Microsoft Office Tools. Next Microsoft Office Diagnostics. Press continue to allow Diagnostics to try to Detect and hopefully Repair your installation. :)

    Have you tried manually adding Office to your start-up apps? Take a look at this tutorial to see if it will give you some guidance:
