Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"
Microsoft MVPs are not employees of the company; indeed, they must give up
their MVP designation if they accept employment with Microsoft. As such, we do NOT represent Microsoft, their views, or the fitness of their software for specific purposes. Read the archives of this group and others if you have any questions. Microsoft lackeys we are not - and you would find many MVPs who will give them "what for" when they mess up, which they do, on many occasions, me among them. However, user stupidity, lack of thoughtfulness, inability to understand "beta" or any other user error also gets the same treatment. Caveat Emptor - would that be a better label for Beta software? Except, folks think they are getting a free Microsoft Office suite to use for a few months and can't resist the temptation, DON'T read the warnings, and install it thinking that it will work perfectly and can be uninstalled as the "normal" program can. Tell me, how is anyone going to bang this into anyone's head when Google mail, toolbar, etc. have been in perpetual beta and lull people into thinking that beta software works perfectly for their production environments. If you want to blame anyone, blame the perpetual Google betas for diluting the meaning of "beta." -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

No matter how many times I tried, it has been impossible to install either 2007 OFFICE or parts of it, for that matter...Installation may fail without explanation or - as it has been the case with VISIO - the installer is unable to find some necessary files.

That's definitely not a helpful post, as most of us clearly know the beta
contingencies of "no tech support/as is." Repeating the beta terms of usage to users who are just trying to figure out how to install the product to begin with only fuels the fire of frustration. Clearly, if so many people are having problems with the installation alone of this product, the signs of what's to come ahead if actually using the beta product seem grim to me. Maybe a new beta 3 version will appear soon correcting this problem. Derek "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: The notice that appeared prior to your downloading the beta states: "Beta code is offered "as is", and does NOT include technical support." -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Peteerwilliam" wrote in message ... Me too, just the same - Microsoft say "refer to discussion group" -not very helpful. I hope someone has the answer.
