Seems to have installed OK(BETA 2), with all apps working.
Here's a light-hearted look at what happened.
When I first attempted to install I selected 'keep all old
applications', then I got the message that you can't keep old versions
of Outlook and that "should I select to install Outlook 2007..." it
will blow out the old Outlook (2003 in my case). No problem, I just
won't install the new Outlook.
So I proceed. Of course there was no Outlook 2007 install yes/no
option presented, and the 2003 icon disappears from the desktop
(doomed). After that the install hung for about an hour, so I ended
it in high hopes of parting ways with Office 2007 BETA 2.
I then did a restore to just prior to the Office 2007 install, tried
Outlook 2003 which now needed my install disk, which the system
couldn't do anything with. Acted like it couldn't see the CD, etc. No
how, no way. (Note: I think I should have done a cold boot about
right here, but you know how it goes)
So, on to my second attempt at installing BETA 2 Office 2007, now to
hopefully get its version of Outlook to work for me. It did, and
Outlook 2007 ("12"? as they also call it) is running. This might be a
rhetorical question, but will I ever get 2003 back...?
