I am having a similar problem. This is what I posted over at the TechNet forums with absolutely no response.
So I loaded up a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit and I just tried to install Office 2007 Small Business edition. I am able to load up the install process, enter the product key, prove that I have a former edition of Office, customize the install process, and then I get this error message \"Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 installation did not complete successfully. We are sorry for the inconvenience.\"
Any ideas? Surely Windows 7 works with Office 2007?
One thought . . . how many of you are using an upgrade version of Office 2007 vs. a full version. I am using an upgrade version. Could that be part of the problem?
Update - I think I found a solution.
Well at least it worked for me . . . I copied all the files from my DVD to a folder on my hard drive and I was able to successfully install it from there. While I was at it, I slipstreams SP1 as well. Here's a guide to how to do it. Microsoft Office 2007 SP1 Installation & Slipstream Guide
The only issue that I was having with Office 2007 was in outlook. When I tried to restore my pst files, I would get a BSOD and then I would have to start all over with the setup again. But its working fine now.Tried vista compatibility mode and getting error 1935 everytime. Seems related to .Net not installed or corrupted. Tried to reinstall .net which is embeded in Windows 7 with no success. In control panel when I try to activate Windows features I am getting another error "Al features where not successfully installed"
Will be really happy if I can run a version of Office with W7.
Clean install - Office Enterprise 2007 installed fine -- activated OK as well. Both W7 versions X32, X64
Are you sure your install DVD is fine. Also if you are trying to install a version obtained from -- (we don't do that on this forum do we) or trying to mess around with keygen's etc then I'm not sorry it doesn't work.
Are you using W7 build 7000 ?
If you are using a LEGAL version of office then sorry to the reference to "torrents" etc. However Office 2007 is such an important product for Microsoft -- especially in the corporate area -- I find it really strange that there is a problem with this. This is the FIRST program I would have expected Microsoft to have got 100% correct.
However try downloading a trial version from the MS site -- if this installs then just update it with your version and activate with your product key.
Cheers

Hi ,
Are you logged in as the Owner account in Windows XP home when installing? Have you shut down all other running software, utilities/antivirus when running Office 2007 setup? If you copy the CD to a folder on your hard drive can you run setup?
This problem popped up with the early Betas, but I though it had gone away with the RTM.Same here.
