Installs fine here in 1.1.41 in a clean wineprefix. Sounds like you've messed up your wineprefix with unnecessary overrides. None are needed to install Office 2007, and native rpcrt4.dll iis not compatible with current Wine.  

Whether you like it or not, you need to install to a clean wineprefix. You won't lose anything by renaming ~/.wine. Just edit menu and desktop links to reflect the new name. Alternatively, keep ~/.wine for your old stuff and create a new wineprefix just for Office. I have mine installed to ~/office2007. Follow the instructions here for creating multiple wineprefixes: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-faf9617c53607e583f6e6ff70a4ac9522d490faf
