Solutions for Office 2008 SP1 installation problems

Sadly the Service Pack 1 for Office 2008 brings a lot of installation problems. I myself suffered from the “Office Setup Assistant opens when I try to open an Office 2008 application” problem, and was going nuts for hours. But apparently there are more problems to be solved…

Despite the bad news that Office 2008 SP1 received, I do have to say that Office 2008 in general is a very good application and Entourage itself a very good eMail client. Anyhow, over at the Entourage Help Blog we can find solutions for the all the Installation errors so far.
