Windows 10: Problem arisen with re- installation of Office Home and Student 2007

It having been lost, when I had to rest the computer, I attempted to re-install Office Home and Student 2007 today. However on opening Excel, I get Code: code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR80 was not found...[/quote] I have re-installed Office but nothing has changed. Can someone help me, please, to solve this problem?

Has it anything to do with compatibility of Windows 10 and Office 2007? Should it have, are newer versions still available other than the rip-off Office 365? I have looked at some of the clones and spin offs. They seem clunky and odd.

Sounds like you purchased Office 2007 Home & Student.

Yes, you can install Office 2007 or Word 2007 on Windows 10. Please keep in mind, it is not supported.

No.

MSVCR80 is the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable dll. Apparently this problem can affect a number of other apps too.

I'm dim. I must be, because I failed to see what option I needed to choose for my problem.
Coincidentally I used CCleaner later (unrelated to this thread) and lost all my network files, folders. In the end was forced to reset computer.

A fresh attempt to install Office this morning was terminated with warning that an error had occurred, but I don't know what, as I do not know location of the installation log.

I'm utterly embarrassed, but hope you will want to give me more help with problems. Please!

 

That would be Step 2...

I see Code: vcredist_IA64.EXEvcredist_x64.EXE][/quote] I suspect I need the second, but want to be sure, and avoid further disaster.

 

I suspect I need the second, but want to be sure, and avoid further disaster.[/quote] Yes...

Can you tell me the differences between vcredist_IA64.exe 6.3MB and vcredist_x64.exe 3.0MB and vcredist_x86.exe

 

I'm afraid that even now Office will not install. *Sad All proceeds until around 60% the hour-glass appears and flickers quickly. A second or so later comes the failure warning.

 

Solved after clean windows install, subject of a long thread a little later than this.
