Office 2007 Beta installing fails

R

Here's the error message I got:

Setup Errors
Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
The 2007 Microsoft Office system not supportupgrading from a prerelease
version of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. You must first uninstall any
prerelease versions.
Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup.

But the thing is, I don't have a previous version of Office 2007, and have
never had one. So what do I do then? I've even tried uninstalling Office
2003, but it still does'nt work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you had any other Microsoft beta products on the machine?

There are incompatibilities with, for example, early builds of
Expression Web Designer.

Well I do have Windows Live Messenger Beta Installed, could try uninstalling
that, and see if it helps, I also have Windows Media Player 11 Beta. I'll
first try the Messenger Beta and see if that helps.

install ontop of a previous Office 2007 build. I've never had an Office 2007
build before "¤%&/#("/.

Ask in the beta news group for which you received the credentials when you
were invited to the initial beta.
