This article was previously published under Q135653 SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office and choose to perform a Custom
installation, a complete installation is not automatically performed.
CAUSE
When you select Custom in the Main Options dialog box, the Custom Options
dialog box is displayed, and you have the opportunity to choose the
components to be installed. By default, only the options that are
installed during a Typical installation are selected. Note that this
behavior is different from earlier versions of Office in which all
options are selected by default.
RESOLUTION
To perform a complete installation (where all components are installed),
click the Select All option on the right side of the Custom Options
dialog box.
NOTE: The Select All button remains available when you select a component
and click the Change Options button. If you click Select All in the
Change Options Dialog Box, the Select All is only applied to those
components. To ensure that a complete installation is performed, click
the Select All button in the top level Custom Options dialog box.
STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Office.
