'Fatal error during installation' when trying to open Office 2010
Hi everyone, I was hoping someone might be able to lend a hand
Basically my problem is as described in the title. Whenever I try to open a document I have saved, or powerpoint/word/excel individually, a series of boxes pop up in sequence.
First box says 'preparing to install' and quickly disappears.
Second box says 'Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Single Image 2010... Getting required information'.
This is then finally replaced with the 'Fatal error during installation' error.
This is on my 1.5 year old laptop running Windows 7. I've had Office 2010 on it since I bought the laptop, but it's only now decided to stop opening. I've tried manually uninstalling Office to try to reinstall Office, but I then get a 'Microsoft Office Professional 2010 uninstall did not complete successfully'.
If anybody knows anything about this and can offer some advice I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks very much.
