Alex Taylor Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 seems like Office 2011 is compatible with 32-bit systems only, I guess this can be the reason of your problem. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06...2_bit_only.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesisnotonfire Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I also get this problem, even when booting into 32 bit & 64 bit, both give the same error message! :S Yours is the one where it's like this can only be installed on 10.5.8 or later? I've also got 10.6.5 and I'm encountering the same problem. I know someone is probably going to comment on this like "Use open office office sucks" we aren't asking for that comment, some people need this to work in order to do work etc. If anyone has a valid solution then please post it here.

Markrtoon Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 What about iWork? It's much cheaper than office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesisnotonfire Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 This topic is about office, I'm sure others are aware of iWork but I'd like a solution to Office only and not an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Taylor Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 and why not to contact their support and to ask about this bug? If you both have the same issue - this means it is not unique, maybe it is Office's glitch? If you are installing Office on compatible os's - it must work, if it doesn't - this is a nice reason to chat with Microsoft support representatives:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesisnotonfire Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Do you think they'd care if we told them were running Mac OS X on non apple hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcimo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Anything going with this? can it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcimo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Anything going with this? can it be done? YES IT CAN! I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION! IM RUNNING 10.6.6 on a D420 DEll and a X60 IBM TABLET. It's your kernel. Simply put, the kernel. Some of those patched kernels are real garbage i must tell you. I replaced the "legacy_kernel" I was using from 10.6.6 package i got from KEXT dot com with, a kernel from my bootloader "IbootRC5r700.iso" I also used 10.6.6. of sleepenabler.Kext.. (be warned...if you want to test out kernels, remove the sleepenabler just in case) and thats it. It install flawlessly.. in 32 or 64 bit mode. WE ARE HACKINGTOSH! AND WE RULE!
