Failed Proofing Tools Installation
« on: February 01, 2013, 04:18:01 am »
Hello Shane,

I speak and write German so I wanted to install German proofing tools on to my laptop. I downloaded ms 2007 proofing tools which also includes German. After unzipping the file and opening the German proofing tool file and unzipping that I was able to click on the install icon which started the process but stopped when it was not able to find a particular file. The details are in the screenshot I took of the error message.

Can you give me a tip as to how to find the file/solve the problem?

Thanks :smiley:

Jaiye

That is a rar file, you need to extract all the files out of the rar file first and then run them from the extracted location. Dont try to run it from the rar itself :wink:
