• Reinstall Office Suite after the restore computer to factory settings

  I had to restore my laptop to its factory settings because of a corrupted registry.  The operating system is Microsoft Vista Home Premium, and more desktop I want to reinstall is Office home and Student 2007.  I inserted the disc and rises the .exe file, but it will be only to configure the system.  The applications are not installed.  Or bring it to the top of the window with the license agreement, or a dialog box to enter my product key.  I tried to run the Setup for the individual applications (e.g., Word) files and I got an error.

  Your machine initially has any Office Suite, perhaps a trial, pre-installed?  Is there something in the Control Panel / programs and features, which relates to the office?

  When you insert your CD it offers it the window of Autorun with the option to 'Explore' the files on the CD?  If so do you see a Setup.exe in the first visible display of the CD Explorer window.  If so do you have a better result if you right click on a Setup.exe it and select the option "Run As Administrator"?
