Hi All,

Tyring to install office from CD, I get about halfway through the install when this error pops up with an OK button:

Seteup Error: Installation language not supported.

I am running Arch Linux 64 with gnome3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would like to purchase this software if I can just get over this hurdle.

Best,

Chris

I think the first tip found here is what you need...

In particular, you'll need the 32bit lbxslt, which you'll find in the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55629), for us archers. ;)

Thanks, that did it. Man just when you think you've read everywhere, there's always some juicy tidbit hiding.

:D

The story of my life since Arch... There's always more to know!

I'm getting the same error on Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit. Cxdiag doesn't report any missing libraries. Any ideas?

Did you try adding libxslt?

Yes - libxslt is already installed.

The funny thing, I just tried it during lunch on a 32bit VM with Ubuntu and a trial version of Office, and the install went fine (of course, I didn't try to activate office, but the language thing comes before). I wonder if you libxslt library isn't somehow currupted. Maybe uninstall and reinstall or force an update on it?

Also, since I'm the kind of person to fool around, I vagely remember that after screwing up badly a VM, copying the file of the CD to a folder and installing from there helped. Of course, the VM might have been the reason for the change in behavior, but copying the CD files on your machine to try the install from there doesn't really cost anything to try.

I was trying to install from a virtual box shared folder, kept failing with the "installation language not supported" error. Copied the iso locally, mounted and install worked like a charm.

Thanks!

Well, glad to help, even if I was 3 months early!

Try installing the earlier msxml parser versions.

I had an issue on Ubuntu 12.04 libxslt was installed.

I installed msxml 3 and it still came up with the language error. I then installed msxml 2 and it installed fine.

Cheers
