Some Office updates need to be installed prior to the installation of the MS Office add-in.

For more information, you should refer to Microsoft KB articles 908002 and 907147.

To continue the installation of your product without the MS Office add-in

1. On the Install Configuration page or the Add/Remove Features page, clear the MS Office add-in check box.
