Outlook 2007 Installation Hangs on Windows Vista

[Mel]

I have searched through the archives and haven't found an answer so am
posting hoping someone can help.

I am running Windows Vista on my new laptop and it came with Microsoft
Office 2007 Home & Student preinstalled, I purchased an activation key
for it and have it activated.

I have since decided that I would like Microsoft Outlook 2007 so
purchased the stand-alone program and am trying to install it from the
DVD. It asked if I wanted to uninstall Outlook 2003 and I did;
installation got about 3/4 of the way completed then hung and had to
be closed.

I verified that Outlook 2003 has been uninstalled (it was the only
Office 2003 component I had installed) and have rebooted several times
but the installation hangs up at the same spot every time, about 3/4
of the way through.

Might anyone have any suggestions to help me get this installed? I
see a lot of problems of the program hanging upon boot but I can't
even get that far.

Thank you,

Melissa

Responding to my own post with the fix in case anyone else comes
across this problem. If you have Microsoft Expression Web installed
you will need to remove it prior to the Outlook 2007 installation.
Once it was removed the program installed.
