Microsoft office cannot install - The operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1)

Hi there,

Recently my hard drive crashed and so I bought a new SSD and performed a clean install of Lion on it. I tried to install Microsoft office, but when I try to open the .mpkg installed it says:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)

Couldn't open "Office Installer.mpkg".

Any ideas? It worked perfectly fine previously, and I had used the same installation.

My specs are below:

MacBook Pro

17-inch, Early 2011

Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

What's the source of the mpkg? Is this for Office 2011?

I'd reccomend downloading from MS here:

https://www1.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/macdl/registerkey.aspx?ref=macdl&c ulture=en-US

Using the key on the CD you have.

PS- Yes i know the site says 2010, but I assure you the mac download is for office 2011. Then do your updates. I think it's on SP3 by now 🙂
