Default 2007 setup/ Remove '03 first?

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.
