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. Daddy "drumz" wrote in message ... 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! "Peter Foldes" wrote: This is clearly an issue with another version of Office still being installed. Did you uninstall the Trial and the Activation Assistant completely. I doubt it. Also some parts of Office 2003 is still resident.

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 . |

Can't install Office 2007 Pro
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 -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "drumz" wrote in message news 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, "Peter Foldes" wrote: I do not think I am wrong. You have some leftovers from the 2010 Beta and or Office 2003.

Can't install Office 2007 Pro
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.
