Office 2010 installation sucks... The Language of this installtion package is not supported by your system

The Language of this installtion package is not supported by your system

The reason I was getting this error was due to the method I had used in extracting the data from the file en_office_professional_plus_2010_x86_515486.exe

I had used Winzip, by right clicking the file and selecting Extract to D:\Office

The correct way for extacting the data was to extract using the command line. The syntax being

D:\en_office_professional_plus_2010_x86_515486.exe /extract:D:\Office

The switch /extract:D:\Office extracts the files contents to D:\Office on my PC, but could be any location.
