Do you get any different results for net helpmsg 1935
on Vista?


Try a search? Tip: for most hits search with all possible representations
of a code. E.g. hex code, hex code with a 0x prefix and decimal equivalent.

I've had the same problems loading MS Office Suite SP1 on my laptop which
runs Vista Home Premium. Comes up with installation failed and a 78F error
code.

Any ideas from anyone?

Insert the Office 2007 CD/DVD into the appropriate drive.

Thanks. Tried this but the same thing happened and I got the 78F error.
Should I have done anything with the MS Office disk, apart from just put it
in the CD/DVD drive?

I have Vista Ultimate, Office 2007 Pro - same problem: Code 78F

Exactly where is the free space?
You have 30 GB free, but on which partition?
How much free space on the system partition?

I have 193GB Free Space; my System has 1 Partiton only. I don't think lack of
Free Space is responsible.
