Default Can't install Office 2007 Pro

(On the unlikely chance that you're still interested in hearing from me

It's not /impossible/ to install another version of Office on a computer
that previously had or currently has Office 2010 Beta...it's just not
/supported/. That means it wasn't designed to work that way, so whether or
not things work out as you planned, you're on your own.

In addition, since Office 2010 is still in Beta, it's not guaranteed to work
properly or at all, which is why Microsoft explicitly says not to install it
on your main computer.

Furthermore, any version of Office can fail to install on any given computer
for a boatload of reasons that have nothing to do with whether or not that
computer previously had some version of Office on it.

Then why will it install on a Win7 machine that had Office 2010 beta on
it?
It will not install on an XPSP2 machine that never had any Office on it. I
think you are wrong but thanks for trying!

you uninstall the Trial and the Activation Assistant completely. I doubt

some parts of Office 2003 is still resident. Clean out the computer from
all Office
installs and then install the Office 2007

I just bought O2007Pro in its nice fancy box. I tried the support route
but
it wants a product ID but because it hasn't installed and none of the
numbers
on the box work I can't get support without paying - THANKS M$, so
hopefully
someone can here can offer some guidance.
I had been running 2003 and then installed 2010 Beta and had no
problems. So
I uninstalled 2010 and now when I try to install 2007 I get the error:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not
have
appropriate permissions to access the item.
So I logged on as administrator but got the same error.
So does anyone know how I can get support? I'm contacting Amazon where
I
bought it tomorrow but was hoping it was just a glitch from Office 2010
Beta.
Thanks

For Office 2003 use the Add\Remove

For Office 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179

For Office 2010 Beta

Either reformat the computer or post in the Office 2010 Beta forums supplied with
your Beta download

A search doesn't show it but you are right about leftovers because when I
re-installed Office 2003 there was mail in Outlook and all my folders as well.
Can you point me to an article about fully removing Office?
Thanks,

2003. Is Activation Assistant on your system if you do a search?

All I can do is try and if it doesn't work then I will reformat. I usually do
it once a year anyway so not a big deal.
Thanks,
