Jed, I have been continually frustrated with Microsoft Office installations over the years. I remember either Office 95 or 2003, for example, where it wouldn't work with some CD drives and one had to change an obscure setting even though other installations worked fine.
One think to note is that in at least some places with the Office 365 installation, the "NEXT" button works a little differently. You have to use ENTER rather than pressing the space bar. There are some web-like web pages that have information and require that you press "NEXT" that you could easily miss if you were either in another window or away from your computer. You didn't say it, but I assume you logged into your Office 365 account at some point. If you missed that step, that could be part of the problem. Before you try installing all over again, you might reboot, go to Add or Remove programs, find Office 365, and press the applications key. There are usually two options, a quick repair and an online repair. I would try the "Quick Repair" first and see what that does. If that does not seem to finish, try the "On Line Repair". It pretty much goes through the install process again, but it may be able to determine what your machine needs and is worth a try. The install does take a while, but not as long as you are finding it to take, unless you have a poor internet connection. I believe that all of their setups require a good bit of downloading. You might want to avoid other downloading or streaming while this is going on. It also might not hurt to be sure you are up to date on your Windows updates.

Does this program really take that long to install? It gave me asetup file, i ran it, and went out for 8 hours. I have a window here that says microsoft office minimize button. When i tab around it says nothing. When i hit the mouse keys it goes ding ding ding ding, ding, ding, ding. When i do insert s 1 of my options it says is microsoft office is installing, click here for status. I do a tab to the single left mouse button and depress the enter key, nothing, then do the same here for the right mouse. How do i click here for status? I didn't think it should take this long. Should i reboot and start over? _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
