Office 2007 Beta 2 won't open

[Matthew Parent]

The situation I face here is pretty unique and I assume that I'm having an
issue with the registry. I downloaded the office beta 2 quite a long time
ago and installed the technical refresh fairly recently. I deleted the setup
files for these a long time ago (technicalk refresh is not an issue
obviously).
My system WAS dual boot, I had vista RC1 and XP Pro as my 2 operating
systems. I had an extreme problem with the XP side and couldn't boot at all
(not even in safe mode). I had to reformat that partition and decided to just
jump over to Vista early. The good news is that I stored all my applications
on a third partition so the office files themselves are fine. However, Vista
does not have the registry settings or anything for Office 2007 so when I try
to open any Office programs I get the error message "The operating system is
not presently configured to run this application"

Is there any way around this aside from redownloading Office 2007? I don't
have an issue with the time taken for the download but I don't want to pay
$1.50 for each download when I already have these programs.

Hi Matthew,

Please see the reploy to your duplicate posting in the microsoft.public.office.misc newsgroup.

You'll need the MS Office 2007 Beta 2 product downloads to install Beta2. The B2TR Technical Refresh is for the most part a
patching process to the original Beta 2 install. The $1.50 isn't per program, but basically per access to the download area for
Beta 2. B2TR is not charged.
