I bought a download of Microsoft Office 2007 (DVD-RW) from a reputable local (Jamaican) tech store. I tried to install it, it asked me to install with a publisher. I clicked on it but a pop-up came up, which said at the very top 'Can't Run'. The message said you have to be an administrator to run. When I clcked on OK, the message went away and nothing else happened. I'm logged in as the local admin though. I'm using an HP 2000 laptop, with Windows 8.

From seeing hundreds of MS Office installs, I have never seen this.

Everything about this says: "Not a valid Office installation disk"
Everything. Reputable store or not.

First, thanx so much for the replies so far. I freely admit to being new to the computer game, seeing as this is my 1st one. What I've been seeing so far w/ my Windows 8 isn't out of the ordinary though. Whenever I downloaded something, 3/4 of the time it asked me if I wanted to use one of the corresponding apps in the Windows Store to run the programme/software. A few weeks ago, I had to change my hard drive so the apps Icould've used to possibly help me w/ this issue aren't on it. So there's no help for me?
