Office 2007 Won't Install - Keeps Trying To Install On "D:"
I'm trying to reinstall Office 2007 on my PC after a brief flirtation with Office 365 (it sucks), but I can't get it to install.
At first I was getting Error 1324 - Invalid character in "D:\\Program Files x86\Microsoft\Office" or something close to that. Problem is, my PC has never had a D drive that was a HDD, its always been either a DVD or BluRay player.
I have run the registry at least a dozen times and removed every reference I could find for Office. That stopped the 1324 Errors but its still trying to install to D: and tells me that there is no room on it to install and to free up space.
On top of this, in Windows Update, I have a bunch of updates for Office 2007 that can't install because there is no Office installed. But every time I shut the machine down, it tries but fails. And the updates just won't go away. I can't even use the "ignore" function in update to get rid of them.
Any clues folks? I'm at wit's end and ready to say the hell with MS Office and switch to LibreOffice.
