Error Msg when installing Office for Mac 2008 on New Mac Book Pro

Why Am I getting the message "Classic environment no longer supported"  when I try to install  Office for Mac 2008 install on a Late 2011 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
Here is a screen shot:

And for what it's worth, my choice would be (and is) LibreOffice, which I've used for about a year with nearly complete satisfaction. Last time I tried it three or four years ago, OpenOffice had the ugly, unrefined appearance of a Windows application; it had no Mac interface at all. That might actually be comforting to someone coming to the Mac from Windows, but as a 27-year Mac user, I hated it. I don't know whether OO has gotten a facelift in the intervening years.
The intermediate step between OO and LO was NeoOffice, which I used for several years. It was OpenOffice with a Mac face, and I liked it well enough. LibreOffice is its further evolution, more compatible with the latest MS Office files.

  • "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system" Error Message when installing Office 2010

    Hello, I am having a very hard time attempting to install Office 2010 Pro Plus on a system.  The error message that I receive is as follows:
    The language of this installation package is not supported by your system.
    I have tried running the Microsoft FixIt tool to remove any traces of Office 2007 and Office 2010.  Also, I have followed the instructions in
    KB928218 to manually uninstall any traces of Office 2007.
    I believe the user had both Office 2007 and Office 2010 installed previously.  There is no article to remove all traces of Office 2010.
    Here is some additional output from the Setup log:

    I have tried both running setup from a disc and a network share.  I am completely stumped and have been trying to get this to load for hours now.  Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Hi Jorge,
    I am sorry to hear that.
    Here are a few things that I suggest you try:
    Grant Full Control for SYSTEM, NETWORK SERVICE and Administrator on C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\networkservice folder.
    If you have Windows Process Activation service installed on the machine, uninstall it.
    Open required RPC ports.
    More information for you:

    If the issue still persists, please check the event logs to see if there are any related error messages and troubleshoot accordingly.

  • Error window when installing update for photoshop CS5 (I own photoshop PS6)

    I haven't updated Photoshop since I purchased PS 6 in 2012. Now I am unable to get & install updates for PS5. Adobe product expert advised me to go to FORUM!

    Not Helpful - but Thank you for trying!!
    1) Yes I have Photoshop CS6 & Adobe Bridge CS6 installed, since 2012
    2) Yes they work, but Bridge, Edit in Camera Raw is missing at least one(1) function
       in LENS CORRECTION. This is the impetus for installing the updates, and how I                     discovered Photoshop & Bridge are missing a CS5 up grade.

  • Invalid Drive Error 1326 When Installing iTunes for Windows

    I used to have an external usb 2.0 portable drive. It since has been uninstalled and trashed. When I tried to log into iTunes it said that some of the files are missing and to uninstall. I uninstalled from Control Panel - itunes, quicktime, ipod- then deleted the files that the support site said to. When I tried to re-install, i get the error that Drive G is invalid- error 1326. Any ideas????
    By the way- I couldn't find the files in C:- Windows- System 32 to delete- they weren't there-
    Thanks!

  • Re "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbe rs]" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

    In answering this, B Noir had it almost correct.  What he missed was that in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components one must also make sure that when right clicking on components/permissions, that the active user is allowed Full Control.

    Many thanks for the heads up, Mac. In recent times, I've also seen that reported during a troubleshoot of a Safari variation of the issue:
    Re: Trouble installing Safari Update On Windows
    Plausibly we might be looking at two different subvariations of the issue.
    Doublechecking something ... did your key (in the error message) have the UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbe rs] structure? Or was it just a UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers] (no slash and no second alphanumeric string), like rona's key?

  • Plz help me: Error msg when installing SAP netweaver

    Hello,
    I am trying to install NetWeaver on my local system. I am not able to proceed further to install SAP NetWeaver 2004's.
    When ever I am running SAPinst.exe file I am getting a prompt that says "Network input/output exception has occurred: Connection reset java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" and then it will ask for host and port number. I entered the local host name and port number as 21212. then I am getting a msg saying "Could not connect to host [HOST NAME] on port 21212. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect"
    I installed all required JAVA components like Java Runtime Environment, Java SDK and JAVA JDK. I verified all environmental variables. I created a new connection with MS loopback adaptor. I disabled all other network cards available on my system. I entered required info in HOST file and SYSTEM file in  %windows/system32/drivers/etc% folder.
    After trying 2 - 3 times I tried to change the port number as mentioned in installation guide also ( using sapinst.exe SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_sapinst_gui_to_gui_server> GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_gui_server_to_sapinst_gui> command in command line) . But no Luck.
    Can any one help me, what else shall I do to proceed further. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Farooq.

    There is an option when starting the sapinst program to avoid starting up an installation GUI and instead wait for a connection from a remote installation console.  I believe it is:
    ./sapinst -nogui (or something very similar, check the installation guide)
    The server will now wait for a response from your terminal.  Use the remote installation program and enter the port number of the server.  If you just run the sapinst program without the nogui flag you may run into some issues.  And make sure your versions match up.  I have run into an issue before where I didn't realize I was using a verion of the remote installation program that didn't match up with sapinst server program.

  • "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows 7 64bit

    I was promted to upgrade to the new itunes version today (11.0.2.26), but wish I never had as the previous version worked just fine!! I have been unable to install the new version and keep getting the message about there being a problem with the Windows Installer package. I tried following the instructions on this support pages on removing all Apple programs but that didn't work either!! I have Windows 7 64 bit and am close to throwing my PC out of the window!! Quicktime will not re-install correctly either...
    Any suggestions will be most gratefully received

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

  • ERROR MSG WHEN INSTALLING PHOTO CS3

    I've downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS3 but it wont install i keep getting error 1327 invalid drive E:/???? I dont even have a drive E/ I have a drive C:/ for my HD and a drive D:/ for CD's etc.. its doin my head in coz it took like 5hrs to download the trial version and it wont even work.. seems like a waste of time.. please any help would be great

    If you do a Google search for "error 1327" you will get many, many hits; and a couple of those are from Microsoft and involve editing registry.
    But, before you follow any of those try these first:
    Is your Operating System up-to-date? e.g XP SP2, with all latest updates?
    Did you ever have an E: drive, for example a USB memory stick? If you did, then plug it in again and try re-installing.
    (and if neither of above solve your problem then it appears that the most likely solution is to look at your registry with regedit and make sure that the following key does not contain any references to drive E:
    My_Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\W indows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell_Folders

    Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

    What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
    There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
    See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
    And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
