Unable to load Access 2007

[bugme]

Win 7 home 64 bit on an i7 build. PC already has Word, Excel, and Powerpoint from my Office 2007 disk. Attempted to load Access, keep getting the following, utterly useless error message:





As a test, I was able to load the same 4 programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint & Access) on a 32 bit, XP machine I no longer use. How can I determine why Access will not load on my win7 machine?

TIA

Fred

If it helps you, I have ac2007 loaded on the same OS and hardware although I see I have Pro and you are using Home Edition.
