Hi Severin, The Office 2008 disc uses PPC code in its installer which requires Rosetta (which is not available in Lion). This might help you find a solution. <http://www.officeformachelp.com/2011/07/install-office-2008-on-lion/> <http://www.office.mvps.org/install/office2008_lion.html> "If you do a fresh install of Lion or need to re-install Microsoft Office 2008 at a future time, users that have an original DVD version 12.0.0 of Microsoft Office 2008 can install on Lion, but will need to do an additional step after installing from the DVD. Until this step is complete, Office 2008 cannot see any future updates. If you have Office 2008 v12.1.0 or later there are no special instructions."
