Recently when I tried to apply the latest Office 2008 update, it began giving me an error message during the installation process saying that I can't install it on that drive because I needed Mac OS X 10.4.9 or higher (I have the latest version of Leopard 10.5.5). I tried deleting the whole thing and reinstalling Office, but now I can't even run the installation program because it's giving me the same error message. Does anyone know how to get the installer to recognize that I have 10.5.5 and that I should be allowed to install Office on that volume.
Got a tip for us?

Make sure you haven't used a program that "thins" out unneeded files in OS X. Programs such as "Monolingual" and several others that remove languages or kernels from OS X will cause the Office 2008 installer to error out. I don't know if that's your problem or not but in case it is, you may have to reinstall Leopard in order to get Office 2008 to install and\or install updates.
