Default Cannot install Office 2003 on Windows 7

Have installed Windows 7 beta- running well. Attempted to install Office 2003
and after setup files are copied to hard drive I repeatedly have error box
stating "windows installer has stopped working" . This despite tweaking
compatibility settings on all executable files, including setup files that
are copied to hard drive. I had no problem running 2003 on Vista.

Is there a fix for this or should I go for Office 2007 (assuming that will
install).

Thanks!

You are running a beta version, you should expect issues, try posting to the
beta group
I doubt there are many here running the win beta, particularly on a
production PC
