    Can't install any version of Office on Win 7 Pro x64


    Long time browser but first time poster. I'm really struggling to find a solution to an issue and I've never been defeated by Windows before so am hoping some of you guys can help me sort this one out also.

    I work in an Architectural office. My office is about to get some new high-spec PC's in a month or so. My current work PC is shockingly slow but I'm about to start using Revit on a very large project on Monday. To fill the void in until then I've offered to bring my brand new home PC (Core i7 3.4, 16GB RAM, 2gb Graphics) into the office for me to use in the mean time, the job would be impossible without this. Yep, poor planning on their part, but we are where we are.

    I'd already installed Win 7 Pro x64 setup for home network with a standard single user, myself. Our IT guy (who's only in one day a week) added the work domain and my work login so I could use it on our network and get emails via Outlook etc. The issue is we cannot, no matter what we do, install any version of Office onto the PC. We've tried 2007, 2010 and 2013 versions and none of them will install no matter what we do. He and I have separately tried anti-virus and malware scans, registry cleaners (yep, we are that desperate!), Microsoft Fix It's, resetting Registry values back to default. We've checked Microsoft Installer service is running and configured and pretty much any other posted solution we could Google.

    I now have the PC back at home spending my whole weekend Googling to try and sort this out. I'd not installed any MS Office products before but had installed Libre Office. I'm wondering if the fact I had a standard user installed and now also have a domain based login could be causing issues?

    The process will start asking for Product Key, then accept terms, click install and install dialog pops up but progress bar doesn't move at all, it waits about 1 min then says it encountered a problem. Same thing with all Office versions.

    I'd really appreciate it if you anyone has some nuggets of advice to me help sort this out for tomorrow. I've never had an issue like this before and am totally baffled.

    Any help at all very much appreciated .

    Did you try the install in SAFE Mode? Also, are you the Administrator? This may impact the situation.

    Tried installing normally and 'Run as administrator' but makes no difference. Safe Mode though, hadn't thought of that tbh. Will give it a shot and report back. Thanks.

    Nope, installing either 2007 or 2010 from Safe Mode didn't work but for a second it looked like it might. As the install dialog appeared as before this time there was actually one small notch showing on the install progress bar but that was all before it stopped but also when it failed it didn't just hang but stopped and went to a dialog stating that the install had encountered a problem, something which doesn't happen normally. Any more thoughts anyone?

    The only thing that you have mentioned is having your computer set up in a work domain situation, which seems be the only difference from any other computer.
