I can't install Office 2007 bought yesterday because the software claims I
don't have sp2 installed. So I went to download it. Took forever. Then it
finished downloading and I get this:

Install Update

Download size (total): 0 KB*
Estimated time at your connection speed: 0 minutes*

(*Download is ready to install)

What's this? I am so frustrated with Windows. I'm taking Office 2007 back to
the store on Monday if I can't use it. I would have changed to Mac years ago
if it wasn't for a couple of farm data software programs that are only
available in Windows!

Think about what you are reading.
Think about what you said.

You finished downloading it. (You said this yourself.) After you finish
downloading something - what is the download size? (How much more do you
have left to download?) ZERO. Then it even tells you that the "Download is
ready to install" because - as you said - the download is finished.

There is an "Install Update" button --> what happens when you click it?

You can switch to whatever computing platform you want - but if you have
trouble with comprehension - a different platform is not going to correct
that. ;-)

Do it again and click the Install or Run button next time - eh?
