If an earlier version of Office is installed on a user's computer, Windows Installer migrates the previous version's settings to Office Editions the first time the user starts an Office Editions program.

So I have the experience to know what to expect when I'm installing a version of Office. So to install Office I use the setup64 file that's in the Office folder. At no time am I given the option to do a custom install. I've already wasted too much time with this dealing with this problem. I really don't see any advantage to sending a capture of what's happening.

We're running Windows 7 at work so I'm going to install Office on one of the computers I use. I want to see what happens with Windows 7.
