office 2007 beta won't open in vista business

[Donno60]

I have installed the Office 2007 beta 2 technical refresh in Vista Business.
The install went well, but when I try to open any of the applications, I get
the error message: "Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the
current user. Please run setup to install the application." I am the only
user, and I have set the applications to open as administrator, changed the
ownership to mine, and set permissions to full for me. The only non-standard
event was that I couldn't find my key, and the installation said that I coud
open Office 50 times without entering a key.

My personal recommendation is to dump the beta and all of the beta ugliness if you intend to purchase Office 2007 within the next 60 days. Instead, download and install a fully RTMd trial version of the suite you intend to purchase. You will have the released product lacking the identified beta problems and bugs.

Good advice, I managed to find my key and reinstalled the beta for now and
that fixed the problem.

Happy New Year,
