Jed,
I have been continually frustrated with Microsoft Office installations over
the years. I remember either Office 95 or 2003, for example, where it
wouldn't work with some CD drives and one had to change an obscure setting
even though other installations worked fine.
One think to note is that in at least some places with the Office 365
installation, the "NEXT" button works a little differently. You have to use
ENTER rather than pressing the space bar. There are some web-like web pages
that have information and require that you press "NEXT" that you could
easily miss if you were either in another window or away from your computer.
You didn't say it, but I assume you logged into your Office 365 account at
some point. If you missed that step, that could be part of the problem.
Before you try installing all over again, you might reboot, go to Add or
Remove programs, find Office 365, and press the applications key. There are
usually two options, a quick repair and an online repair. I would try the
"Quick Repair" first and see what that does. If that does not seem to
finish, try the "On Line Repair". It pretty much goes through the install
process again, but it may be able to determine what your machine needs and
is worth a try.
The install does take a while, but not as long as you are finding it to
take, unless you have a poor internet connection. I believe that all of
their setups require a good bit of downloading. You might want to avoid
other downloading or streaming while this is going on. It also might not
hurt to be sure you are up to date on your Windows updates.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Hey guys,
OK, well i got office 365, and am a little discouraged. Does this
program really take that long to install?
It gave me asetup file, i ran it, and went out for 8 hours. I have a
window here that says microsoft office minimize button. When i tab
around it says nothing. When i hit the mouse keys it goes ding ding
ding ding, ding, ding, ding.
When i do insert s 1 of my options it says is microsoft office is
installing, click here for status. I do a tab to the single left mouse
button and depress the enter key, nothing, then do the same here for the
right mouse. How do i click here for status? I didn't think it should
take this long. Should i reboot and start over?
