Problem unzipping MS Office in Vista 64 bit system

Hi,

I have a new Dell Studio XPS computer. Sometime after purchasing I recently had to reinstall Vista because of serious internet connectivity problems. Since then I've downloaded a fully licensed Office 2007 from my university's website-used it before on XP and it worked fine. On XP options for unzipping the file is possible but in Vista I don't get the "Extract All" option when I right click. Instead when I select "Open" which is my only option, I get a message that says "msoffice.exe is not a valid Win32application." I don't have problems unzipping other files.

windvista,

Use another Compression Manager like 7Zip or Winrar, both have x64bit versions. If still same problem, then your download file could be corrupted while downloading, which if it is, then you would need to download it again. You can pick up the 7Zip x64 Here, Plus a few other x64 Goodies while your at it.
