What’s happening on this Office 2010 Home & Student?
This thread is for the Office gurus.
I'm trying to make Office 2010 64 2010 Home & Student work on a Win 7 pro 64 laptop.
It was on a friend’s laptop that died. He gave me the license and a Proofing tools package he bought as he is using a new Office version.
These are the steps I did:
- Ran setup.exe
- Entered the key
- Selected the options (Word, Excel. PPoint) and deselect other features (one note, languages etc)
The Office has installed, it’s activated but has the following problems:
- All the shortcuts created on Start – Microsoft Office doesn’t work. It gives me an error that the shortcut can’t work. So I went to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 and created a shortcut for winword.exe, Excel.exe and Powerpnt.exe and they work. Exeption is OIS.exe (Picture Manager) that doesn’t (error: Microsoft Office has stopped Working).
- If I double click a Word, Excel or Powerpoint document, they don’t launch Word, Excel or Powerpoint, it runs into the same process than a shortcut.
- I have manually set the installation, choosing what to install. But I run setup – change, and most all items that I had choose d to install on my computer now shows as “Run on fist use”
- The proofing tools shows as not installed, even with English and Portuguese installed with the a Proofing tools package.
- I ran WU and it had installed more than 60 updates to Office and more than 70 to the Proofing tools.
I have used same Office 2010 installation package on many computers (different keys) and they are working fine.
Can someone explain me what’s going on?
