MS Off OneNote not installed for current user....

[carlo]

Last month or so, I installed OneNote on a MS XP OS PC and accidently
deleted the original MS OneNoe install files. OneNote was
available,(for a very short time) as separate beta file that I was able
to download with the appropriate MS Product Key. Recently, I
installed the MS Office2007b2tr. All was/is fine.

Then I wanted to put OneNote on a MS Vista(beta) laptop. As I could not
seem to find OneNote as a single file again on MS Web, I copied over
all the related directories, (I think) including MSOCache. Reinstalled
Microsoft Office Professional Plus! 2007 &
Office2007b2tr-kb000000-fullfile-en-us... rebooted and all MS Office
Icons appear and all other Office 2007 beta programs work. But, when I
click on OneNote Icon or try and open a OneNote file from the XP PC and
now residing on the MS Vista laptop... I get an error message...
"Microsoft OneNote has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to install the application." Went into the MSOCache
in the OneNote dir and did a set up. Installed again and when I
clicked on a file and got the the same error message.

Beside my just waiting for the commercial release, anyone got any
suggestions?

TIA,
Carlo

You copied over the installed OneNote files, and then ran the setup for
Office 2007 Pro?

That won't work unfortunately. OneNote is not included in the Office
2007 Pro setup; it must be installed properly from a similar named
OneNote 2007 setup file.

You will need to find or download another copy of the OneNote setup
files. If you did not keep an archive copy you will need to pay the
modest download costs to get ON 2007 again.

However you end up reinstalling OneNote, you will need to completely
uninstall Office Pro Beta 2. The B2TR patch can only be installed once
and patches all components of Beta 2 that it finds. Since you've already
applied TR to the correctly installed Office Pro installation, you won't
be able to reapply it to the newly installed OneNote install.

You can find OneNote Beta 2 as a separate download on the Office Preview
Site for $1.50.
