which he said is a public address on the "wayback"

case I
understood him wrong).

Hopeless, no resume and all downloads stop after 100-200MB

Looks like he installed the original (more) buggy 2007
version.

The link worked fine in IE, Edge, and SeaMonkey


Fine for me too, in Firefox [27]. (It didn't know how big it was going
to be until it had got it; maybe that's what upset the other browsers?)

X12-30196.exe from the above link
388 MB or 397,472 KB
Serial No. 61469ecb000400000065
Digital Signature Oct. 2006 indicates the RTM version(which would
require SP3 to bring up to date).
O2K7 SP3 =
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27838

However, _that_ link did _not_ work for me: gave a 404 - a graphic of a
helicopter, with the text "We're sorry, this download is no longer
available.

Perhaps one of the following links will help you find what you
need.", followed rather cheekily by links to Windows 10, Office 365, ...

Do you have a link to SP3 (or 27838 or whatever)?


If you wanted Office 2007 Sp3, you would investigate
various versions of WsusOffline downloader (just for
the link content it could generate, the download
probably wouldn't work). Or perhaps Heidoc would
list it. I think as time goes by, Heidoc prunes out
the content which is no longer available.

And just because it's on archive.org, doesn't always mean
the file is wired up. Sometimes archive.org disconnects these,
because it's burning up too much bandwidth. It's not always
a MSFT request that causes their removal.

office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe 351.9 MB

This appears to be the corresponding direct link it
threatened to use. I'm really really surprised the
"wiring" on this download wasn't broken :-) Microsoft
breaks a lot of their stuff using their various
link shortener thingies (and of course they do that
so archive.org won't work for jobs like this).

In the past, some of the archive.org files were one
byte short of a full download. But they eventually
figured that out. If you run SHA1 or the like on the
resultant download, you can google the SHA1 value
and see if anyone makes reference to the "official
value of the checksum".
