Default 2007 setup/ Remove '03 first?

It's my understanding that Microsoft did identify some issues using
utility and have recommended against using it. For example it may not
remove everything correctly which can result in even a bigger mess:
you've removed the Windows Installer information and if you still
encounter uninstall errors then the fix gets even more complex.

So the fact you used it after you uninstalled shouldn't be an issue.

Hi,
Using that utilty from earlier in this thread; worked great for me-
it saw remnants of B2TR that didn't go away with the uninstall.
Cleaned it up great.
No problem installing RTM-for me.
Lucky?
Maybe-for once.

I don't know who that is. I literally just posted it on my site
after I got the OK from Microsoft to do so.

I used some of that today when I went into Full Metal Jacket mode
with the
beast that is B2TR, though I didn't find it on your site. Who is

You may find that the RTM Office 2007 still will not install.
If you
have problems, post here and Patrick has some great
instructions for
getting rid of the beta bits. They are availabel right now by
mail
only. They involve some serious registry editing and .msi
removal
techniques and are not for the faint of heart.

| Beth,
|
| From your; or Millies post in this thread; I went
there;grabbed
| that utility; and it did show some B2TR stuff still lingering
about.
| So I just highlighted the office stuff and said remove. Seems
to have
| worked; nothing else crashed!!
| And since I heard Office 2007 just got released on Technet
this
| afternoon, gonna wait to try it; servers are probably really
busy.
| Just became a subscriber; so I'm waiting my turn.
| That utility got stuff the uninstall missed.
