i just recently bought a Macbook pro 17", (late '08 model) from apple store online. when i tried to install office for mac, it gave me this message during the installing process: "the installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install." can someone help me with this? starting to get annoied by windows vista ><

Well here are a couple things to check. 1. are you logged in with a user account that has admin rights. 2. Are you by chance changing the default install directory. If so try with the default. 3. Do you have a trail of office 08 installed already. If so delete it. 4. Run System updates and try installing again. 5. Check to see if there is an office 08 folder before you install if so delete it and try again. If this doesn't work i would confirm on another machine that the disk is working properly.

the disk worked fine on the other computer my friend has... but it just won't work on my macbook... (btw i am new at this apple stuff) starting to get annoied by windows vista ><

I'm having the same problem. I've had my apple for less than 2 weeks. Microsoft wouldn't do anything for me, i'm sorry they said they would replace the disk for $30. They also said it was a known problem but they already manufactured a lot of these disk that won't work with the new mac notebook. That's as good of help as I got from MS. Apple did eventually send me a replacement but that didn't work either. Did you find a solution?

no not really i just decide to install open office instead starting to get annoied by windows vista ><
