Installing Office 2004

Hi everyone-
Figured you guys could help. i recently purchased Office 2004 and am having trouble installing on my MBP. I have removed the Test Drive that came with MBP, inserted the Office 2004 disc, double-clicked on the Office Setup Assistant. Once i did that, the app (installer?) would open in the dock for .5 seconds, and then disappear. This prompted me to open the console, and check what was going on, and this was the text I got:
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices: mach-o, but wrong architecture
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Any ideas? Help!! (please). And yes, I did search for anything relating to this topic on these boards as well as many others.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ravuya-
Well here is what happens: I put in the Office disc, and 2 options pop up in the window: installer, or a folder with all programs, options etc.
So i can either go through the setup program, or just copy everything over via drag and drop from the Office disc onto my HD.
However, after doing a Get Info on both the Installer and All programs in the second option (including all the Office programs), they all lack the "Open with Rosetta" option.
I have installed PPC apps (Flip4Mac) on my MBP, so I am familiar with messing around with apps, installers, etc opening via Rosetta.
I am just dumbfounded as to why this is happening. Any ideas?
Thank you for your response!

  • Installing Office 2004 - installer quiting

    OK - I tried to uninstall the test drive version prior to installing Office 2004. I used the Remove utility and it did not detect any versions of Office....so I just dropped the complete folder in the trash and emptied it.
    Now, trying to install, I select the Installer Assistant...it runs for about 10 seconds and then quite...disapears from the dock.
    I re-ran the uninstaller from the CD and still will not work.
    Looking for a bone.
    Thanks
    jc

    To elaborate...after dragging the folder, when I open an app, like Word, it bounces in the dock for about 5-seconds and then disapears. Nothing will open.

  • Problems installing Office 2004 on macbook

    I've been trying to help a friend install Microsoft Office 2004 on her MacBook. When she enters the disc into the drive and goes to the setup assistant the assistant becomes unresponsive halfway through. When she tries to drag the MS Office 2004 file from the CD to the Applications folder, it works for a little and then stops, giving this message:
    "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in batang.ttf could not be read or written. Error code -36"
    Is that an error with the CD or the actual CD drive... any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You might try repairing the permissions before running the installer.
    I just installed Office 2004 not long ago and I remember the installer seemed to hang a bit. I'm not sure what the error code is but the batang.ttf is a font. It's possible that the part of you install disc is damaged in that area? Might try cleaning off the disc even if it looks clean.

  • No access to Enturage application folder after installing Office 2004

    I´m not sure this this the right forum, but when I ask Microsoft Enturage people, this is a Mac Tiger security/permission problem, and when I ask Apple people this is a Microsoft Enturage problem, so I don´t know.
    So,my issue: I have just reinstalled my HD, using "archive & Install". After the installation, I installed Office 2004. Everything works fine (Word, Excel etc) extept for Enturage, I cannot run the application. The message I get after klicking the icon is:
    "You do not have write access to the Enturage applocation folder.To run Enturage you must have the administrative user remove the Identities folder from the application folder."
    I have an admin-user. I have not changed user (only me and the admin) during installation.
    The reason for reinstalling my Mac was solely because of Enturage-problems, and now, after all this effort, it will still not work! This can make a person go insane!
    I am not a very technical person, and will be very greatful for all help!

    Did you shut down the database before moving files?I didn't move any files, I just copied some files to the other node.
    Can you connect in sqlplus?Yes that was possible. I also had a connection to the database using TOAD.
    After looking for the problem together with a colleague I've found out that I had to add some more listening addresses. The problem was that my nodes node1 and node2 have the IPs 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3 but the virtual server of the cluster which forms the database oracledb for the clients runs on 10.10.10.103. So there was the name for e.g. node1 in the configuration files but also the IP-address 10.10.10.103 which the system couldn't resolve. After adding all possibilities using the Net Manager and after restarting the services it worked fine. At least until now. I haven't tried everything yet... I will go on tomorrow... thx so far.

  • I recently tried to uninstall and then install Office 2004

    I recently tried to uninstall and then install Office 2004. All of my email is gone. Folders, messages, contacts. By uninstalling did I permanently delete it? Is there a back-up hiding on my computer?

    since Office is not an Apple product, you may find it better to post your question over on Microsoft's own Office For Mac product forums, as they would be more focused to your issue and a solution may already have been posted:

  • Installing Office 2004 after upgrade to Tiger

    I am upgrading to Tiger from Panther and do not want to lose Office for Mac. I have the 2004 version which I have upgraded in Panther up to 11.3.8. I will have to install the standard Office 2004 for Mac from the CD. Can Tiger accept this early version so that I can upgrade by downloading improved versions?

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Just be sure to Repair Permissions before & after any upgrade/install/updates.
    The usual reason why updates/installs/upgrades fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.

  • Trouble installing Office: 2004 for Mac

    Hello. I hope someone can help me. So here's the deal.
    I've been using Office X for some time. I bought Office 2004 for Mac (Student Teacher Edition) from a friend who upgraded last May. I got the manual and the Product ID with it. I never got around to Installing it, but my hard drive failed recently and Apple replaced it, obviously without any of my stuff on it.
    So I decided if I have to reinstall all my software, I'd go ahead and use the Office 2004 as I don't think the Office X is fully compatible with Tiger (because of it's age and a few issues I've had with it over the past two years). Now, here's the problem. When I tried to install it, the product ID didn't work as the Product/CD Key. I called my friend and she no longer has the box or the Product Key, and of course, the Product key from my Office X doesn't work.
    So now I'm stuck. Is anyone familiar with Office 2004 for Mac? Is there any difference between the "retail" version and the Student/teacher version that would prevent the Product Key from one with working with the other? Would anyone be willing to share their Product key with me, to install the software so I can get back to work?
    I've already lost 4 days in time (and have to recreate 2 days worth of work that was done after my last file backup) and don't have time to deal with this stuff.
    I may be contacted directly at robertben1 at comcast dot net.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help.

  • Installing Office 2004 on a network

    Hi,
    I have two computers connected through a cable router. I have Office 2004 installed on my computer and I had thought I had installed the same program on my son's G4. I never had a problem using Word while he was also using it on his computer. He recently got a G5 and I installed again the Office 2004 on his computer. Now when I attempt to load my Office 2004 program, specifically Word, while he is also using it on his computer, I get a message that two computers on the same network are not allowed to use Office 2004, i.e. that only one computer at a time can use the program. Is there a way around this? Should I just unplug my ethernet cable when I want to use the program at the same time he is using his?
    Thank you.

    Hello Sae,
    Welcome to the Apple Forums!
    Sounds like it may be a licencing issue. Microsoft does update various components of Office for Mac, so there may have been an update that's affected the way Office determines whether it's properly licenced.
    Have you confirmed that you are "licenced" to run it on more than one machine? Have you seen mention in the licencing agreement anything to do with the number of allowed installations?
    Reason for asking is that maybe it is only licenced for one machine. In that case, you can't "get around it" without violating terms of the licencing agreement (legally a bad thing).
    At any rate, let me know what you find!
    Regards,
    Motosuwa

  • Can i install office 2004?

    Hello,
    I used to have an iBook G4 and I bought office 2004 for it and it worked perfectly. Now I have a new macbook and I dont know if its convenient for me to install the old office 2004 I have because I dont see the universal symbol anywhere on the package (because I think I bought it in 2005).
    Should I buy a new Office 2004?
    In that case, is there a downloadable version, or do I have to run out to the store?
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    A Universal Binary version of Office is in the works but Office 2004 does run on Intel Macs thanks to Apple's Rosetta technology. You'll probably find that it will boot a little slower than on your iBook but runs at about the same speed assuming you have at least 1GB of memory.
    Note: if you own Office for complete compatibility with the Windows world, you should be aware that Microsoft made the decision to drop visual basic support in the upcoming version of Mac Office. If you depend on macros for your workflow you'll not want to upgrade to the new version when it comes out. If this is an issue for you, contact Microsoft's Mac Business unit and let them know it.

  • Problems installing OFFICE 2004 after clean install of Leopard

    I have installed Leopard on my G5 POWERPC in the partition I have reserved for the system ( I have another partition for my user files and I am administrator of the system )
    The install stops at one of the early stages where it asks for user info ( line name, last name etc.)
    I have tried to clean up all the files in my user area (mainly in Library/Preferences ) which seemed to refer to MS applications, but to no avail: anyone having the same problem ? Anyone with a fix ?
    Thanks
    Ps: please refrain from suggesting that I should go away from MS office applications: most of my colleagues are MS Windows based and I need to exchange daily files with them...

  • Office 2004 Install and Photoshop Elements

    Please forgive my total NOOB inquiry especially since I am an experienced Linux user. I have attempted to install Office 2004 onto a 1 month old MacBook. The disc mounts, I open it, and double click the Office setup assistant. The result every time is that Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 opens, and eventually fails with a can not open the file error. Why is Photoshop elements trying to open it? I also tried copying the entire Office folder to the applications folder (just to see what happens). When then trying to launch the individual Office apps, Photoshop Elements again launches. Please advise. I have googled this to death and found no one with a similar problem. Thx

    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 Ghz Duo

    I have basically the same assumption on file
    associations with PhotoShop Elements. I'm
    investigating two paths right now:
    1. How to keep PhotoShop Elements from trying to
    open this file type, even though it has no file
    extension. I have yet to find where these file
    associations are made. Time to read the manual. Is
    it done through the App, or OS?
    I think it would have to be the OS, but I don't know how you would make use of that info. The only way I know of is to examine thru the Get Info window. If you do a Get Info on the setup assistant, does it have the Open With section? If it knows it's an app, it doesn't even show that section. If it does have that section, it should let you change it from Elements to something else. You may also be able to uncheck the Hide Extension checkbox and see what extension it has.
    2. I'm going to borrow someone else's Office 2004
    install disc to see if the installer auto-launches
    after mounting and double clicking on the disc. I've
    found it odd that my current install disc doesn't
    launch. Maybe, just maybe, I have a damaged disc.
    Worth a shot.
    Yes. I have Office v.X installed, not 2004. And I just copied it from my old Mac; it's been forever since I used an Office installer disc.

  • Problems Installing Microsoft Office 2004 on 10.4.3!

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine just purchased 10.4.3 from the Apple Store for use with his G5 (the original single 1.8). My friend is not very skilled with computers, so I have been helping him get 10.4 running.
    • We wrote zeros to his hard drive.
    • We then did a fresh installation.
    • We then ran software update.
    • Apps like Photoshop Elements have installed without problems.
    Microsoft Office 2004 (Student and Teacher) will not install using the installer or drag-and-drop.
    • The installer finishes but the Office 2004 apps are not on the Hard Drive!
    • Drag-and-Drop encounters an error (-36 I think) and stops installing.
    Obviously, my friend is disappointed that Office will not install on a fresh OS - Please help!

    Hi all,
    Templeton Peck may have been correct after all! I just got this message from Microsoft Support moments ago:

    As I Understand you are Recieving an Error when installing Office 2004, which is not allowing you to Complete the installation.
    With Error 36 There is only one thing to do, you will need to contact our Replacment Product Department for a new disc, you can contact them by calling 1-800-360-7561
    Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

  • Office 2004 won't install on os 10.5.8

    Ok. So, I am trying to install Office:mac 2004 from disk onto my newly upgraded g5 os x 10.5.8. I do the recommmended way of going through the wizard, and everything seems to be fine. But, it doesn't show in my applications. I go into the library and preferences reflect the install.
    I saw a post that said it could be a preference issue and to change the microsoft user data (mud) file by renaming. Kinda newer to macs inners, but I think I did that (can someone verify where that is on the os?).
    I removed everything using the disks removal tool, and did again to verify. It seemed to work.
    Can anyone please provide insight into this issue? I tried to get Open Office 2.4 for mac, but it wouldn't work either with just the x11 box coming up with a cryptic message and a command timed out message.
    I just need some sort of office software. Arrrrggh!
    Thanks.

    For PPC Macs like your G5, I'd recommend NeoOffice over OpenOffice. NeoOffice is a fork of the OpenOffice project that uses Java to work around the X11 requirements.
    As for your original problem of installing Office 2004, I usually do the copy option as it seems faster. This has never been an issue on my Leopard (or Tiger) systems, and I manage quite a few of them. You may be looking at a clean install of Leopard since the problems you are describing (especially the font copy one) point to other system level issues.

  • Can I restore Office 2004 from Time machine backup

    Hi Guys,
    I have managed to delete office 2004 when I was trying to install office 2008 using a friend's copy. Office 2008 will not work for me as it needs online registration.
    I no longer have the office 2004 install disk. Is it possible to re-install office 2004 from my time machine backup. I can see it is available in the backup from before yesterday but not sure if I try to restore what will happen.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi PaulieHK,
    Open Finder on you original view desktop.
    No go to Application folder and select the Office 2004.
    NOW, select the Time Machine icon in the dock and it will bring you back in history.
    You can go back before you tried to install Office 2008.
    Select IN Time Machine the application Office 2004 and click on PUT BACK.
    Time machine will now put back the situation as it was before the installing Office 2008.
    When you see your original desktop again try to open Office 2004.
    Good luck ...

  • Mac mini slow, especially with Office 2004

    I just upgraded from an iMac flat screen to a 1.83 GHz Mac Mini. The move was easy and I'm not experiencing any major bugs, but for a lot of things I'm finding the mini slower than my old iMac. In particular, the two Office 2004 applications I use all the time, Word and Entourage, take a lot longer to open and move around in, with a lot of rotating rainbow time. I installed Office 2004 when I got the mini, but I'd transferred Office X over from the older computer. Would it help to take off Office X? Any ideas?

    As per the reply to your other post with the same question:
    This is not something to worry about or be concerned with. Firstly, the paging counts will depend on how long the system has been running since the last boot, but MacOS is designed to actively page out and in, so in itself, the fact your system shows it is doing so means nothing at all.
    If your computer is exhibiting some indication of a problem, I suggest you start a new thread here and describe what you are experiencing. That way we can help you directly with the specifics of your problem. On the other hand, if you have just seen the comments regarding paging and system performance and have checked your own Mac to see what it's doing - the answer is that in the absence of an indication of a problem, it's very likely doing exactly what it ought to be doing!
