office issues vista

1) Attempting to run Office Update with Office XP Pro on Vista fails @ 40% in ident.cab - not digitaly signed.
2) Attempting to install Office 2007 Pro Beta on Vista fails as the Download is not digitaly signed.
Anyone any idea what the best way around these issues please?

Try disabling UAC and try installing again: Click Start > All Programs > Run > type in MSCONFIG > Tools (tab) > scroll down select Disable UAC > click Launch, restart your system for the changes to take effect. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I had the same problem. Office 2007 (Office 12) was downloaded under Vista without apparent problems. A certificate not valid message popped up at the end of the download. There was no choice to accept or reject and closing the window resulted in loss of the download. I am trying it again with Server 2003. Robbie

Robbie It was possible to download Office 2007 with Windows Server 2003 and to

then execute the install under Vista. It was necessary to "right click" on the install executable and check "install as Administrator" in order to install the software even though the user already had Administrator privileges. Microsoft Word ran OK in a brief test, but Microsoft has created another incomprehensible user interface. For example, it isn't obvious as how to change the default font and I still can't change the default file location. The option to do this is in a few unlikely locations and, even there, is grayed out. Robbie
