nimitch Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I successfully installed Microsoft Office 2008 and was all excited to have an installation that didn't drive me crazy. *Bzz* I should have known better. Heh. To make a long story short, I was stuck at the Office Setup Assitant asking me to enter my information and click 'Continue.' However the problem was that it did nothing after I clicked 'Continue' After quite a bit of web-browsing,..I was lucky enough to stumble across this page: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...080303092846159 Which pointed out to check out the properties of the 'Documents' folder, and make sure that you have 'Read/Write' abilities. I had a brain fart for a bit to figure out how to change folder properties. (In case you had the same issue, and you couldn't figure out why the field was greyed out,..please make note of the lock that's located at the bottom of the window. Click it, and you too will be able to change the properties of folders!) The installation didn't report anything, it just wouldn't continue. Once I changed that one setting above,..the installation finished. The power of a check box,...-.-' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110652-fix-microsoft-2008-office-setup-assistant-hanging/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I also heard that if you trash the Office 2008 suite, it works perfectly.
