I even went into ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft and deleted that
directory to ensure that everything Microsoft-esque was gone.

When I start up the installer, it just sits there and doesn't install
anything after putting in my name, product key, etc.

Any further hints?

Thanks,
Shade

Hi Shade:

1) Make sure there is no Microsoft Office 2004 folder in your Applications
folder. If there is, delete it; and empty the trash BEFORE you go further.

2) Drag the entire Office 2004 folder from the CD to your "Applications"
folder.

I don't think the installer works properly on the Intel Mac (does anyone
know??)

Cheers
