Have a new computer with Windows XP SP2 and all updates and Office 2007
professional.

find the required file c:/program files/Microsoft Office11/1033/setup.chm
Any assistance is appreciated.

Interesting. I was curious to what it was looking in the Office11
folder, as I believe Office 2007 falls withing the Office12 arena. I
have the same setup (no Office Web Components) and had no issues
installing the SQL 2005 developer edition.
