office 2007 (beta)

O

Oivind

Can't install above. The installation wizard halts and an error message pops
up telling me that I have to uninstall any previous versions before Office
2007 can be installed. I don't understand because I have used the add/remove
tool to uninstall Office 2000. Could it be that references to Office 2000
still remains in the registry and this is the cause of the problem? Is is it
safe to search out the references by using regedit and then simply delete
them?

Hi Oivind,

Are you trying to install an Office 2007 beta product (they're pretty much past their final expiration date - i.e. 'won't run') or
are you trying to install Office 2007 and the machine is indicating that there is a prior beta version (which could be an older
Office Compatability pack (that let you open Office 2007 files in Office 2000)?

Th information in this article and the one it links to under 'More Information' may be helpful.
