Office 2007 Beta Blocking Install of Office 2007 Trial!
I have uninstalled the Office 2007 Beta successfully, but am still blocked
from installing the Trial version. The Beta did NOT include the Technical Refresh, which I never installed. I have uninstalled all Beta program components (that I could find), rebooted, etc., and still can't install the Trial because I keep getting the "must remove Beta" msg. I have even cleaned out the Registry of all references to the Beta, and to Office altogether, but still "no go." Is there a switch that could force the install of the final version of Office 2007? Any other suggestions? Desperate! I really don't want to reformat my HD! Thanks!

See my RTM issues page. There is a section dedicated to this problem. My
bet is that you still have the beta PDF output add-in or Expression Web installed.

Office 2007 Beta Blocking Install of Office 2007 Trial!
I Patrick,
I had the same problem, and after wasting a lot of time working on the problem, and getting no help from Microsoft, I went into system tools and did a restore to the system back to prior to the Beta install.. I am very disappointed that Microsoft does not have the old files/fragments removed during the 2007 install. It's pretty evident that Microsoft did not do the proper pre-release testing prior to release. Good Luck Gene Bammes Patrick Schmid [MVP] wrote: See my RTM issues page.

Office 2007 Beta Blocking Install of Office 2007 Trial!
I installed the Office 2007 beta in two virtual machines, and on one physical
machine. I uninstalled it from both virtual machines without a hitch and installed the Office 2007 trial. On the physical machine, however, nothing I've done works. I uninstalled the beta just as I'd done in the virtual machines, only here I got the "can't continue" message when I tried to install the Trial version. I followed all of your directions, I cleared out Registry entries, removed physical folders, and so on. I wonder how most newer users would ever remove all the Registry entries without ruining their computer? I was able to reinstall Office 2003. IF you have any ideas of something else I can try I'd love to hear it. Thanks. Michael E. Callahan "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote: See my RTM issues page. There is a section dedicated to this problem.

Office 2007 Beta Blocking Install of Office 2007 Trial!
I agree, newer users probably shouldn't install betas, but I'm sure many do.
I, on the other hand, have been in computers for 29 years. Yes, I still get the error message as if I'd done nothing at all. Very puzzling, very frustrating.
