Just got into this today. It seems pretty cool, the programs stream the install from the internet, and it tells you when it's done installing by popping up a little window in the corner saying "Office can now be used offline".

Welcome to the Microsoft Office 2010 Click-To-Run Technical Preview Program for Home, Student and Small Business Consumers!

We are excited that you have joined this select group to be among the first people in the world to experience Microsoft Office 2010 Click-to-Run.

The program provides a first look at the future of Internet application deployment. It delivers the products rapidly to the computer via streaming over the Internet. The following Office 2010 desktop applications are included: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote

Here you will find downloads available for early, pre-release versions of Microsoft Office 2010 products.

Click here to get started with the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

Below, you will find a number of articles and downloadable documents with product information. We recommend using the Office 2010 Reviewer's Guide as the first resource to help you get started in discovering the new capabilities in the products. The Tips & Tricks will help you discover new functionality as you get to know Office 2010 better.

We encourage you to engage with our product teams and other Technical Preview program participants through the newsgroups. We will periodically post surveys for you to share your experiences that help us understand your needs.

By submitting feedback, you can actively assist the Office 2010 team to identify important issues and to help ensure that the product is reliable and meets customer needs. While we read every request, we are unable to send a response to each submission. We may contact you directly if we have further questions regarding your feedback.

Thank you for your participation!​
Can I use any of the Office 2010 applications before the install is complete?

Yes, you can use them while they are being streamed to your computer. You might notice some slight delays when using the product if they are not fully installed on your machine.

Does the Office 2010 products get installed on my machine every time I use an application or when I reboot my machine?

No. The Office 2010 products are streamed to your computer and installed once. After they are streamed to your computer the product stays installed on your machine.

Do I need to be connected to the Internet when I use any of the Office 2010 applications?

You only need an internet connection to download the complete product. Once it has been fully downloaded you no longer need an Internet connection.

What happens if I lose my internet connection before the complete Office 2010 product is fully downloaded?

You can still use the Office 2010 applications. But since not all of the entire product features have been streamed to your computer, your applications may have limited capabilities, depending on what has been downloaded so far. When you connection is restored, the product will continue streaming from the point that it left off.

I get an error when trying to open Microsoft Excel documents from my desktop or the File Browser/Manager.

This is a known issue. Microsoft Excel will actually launch but an error dialog saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program" will appear. To work around this, leave Microsoft Excel open and select the document again to be opened. The document will now open inside Microsoft Excel.

Which Microsoft Operating Systems does Office 2010 Click-to-Run Support?

Windows XP SP3
Windows Vista SP1
Windows 7 (Beta version)
Windows Server Operating Systems are not supported for client installation

Does Office 2010 Click-to-Run support 64 bit Operating Systems?

Yes, it does. At install time the product detects which Operating System is it running on and installs the proper software for it.

Why does Office 2010 Click-to-Run not install on any Microsoft Server operating systems?

This product is intended for Home, Student and Small Business users. It is rare that this target audience uses a Server operating system for daily personal use.

I got into this, too. I was leery at first because I like installers. However, it seems to work great!

Actually can't upload it - it's a web installer. I'm not sure if it's keyed, but I suspect it is.

The thought of installing something that is ONLY web based is completely abhorrent to me. First of all, I don't like the idea of keeping stuff like I keep on a webserver. I make sure my business emails are kept away from the web, they contain federal tax id numbers, company financials, social security numbers and other detrimental things.

If Office 2010 is strictly a web app, it's all over for me upgrading.

I think you may have missed the point on this one...

All your files are stored locally and program runs locally (you can run without web connection). Just seems to be a different way of downloading the program and managing the technical preview. I imagine this give MS more control over what happens to their program and who gets it etc.

Well sort of...

Guys any noticeable differences, performance or features from the previously leaked 14.0.4006.1008 build.


I know the other leaked one 14.0.4032 or something was meant to be pretty buggy and people had issues un-installing?

Ps hiya from Sunny South Africa...:)

Unable to uninstall Office 2010 Technical Preview

I've installed (and much enjoyed) the Technical Preview of Office 2010. :) Now I've obtained a copy of the Beta version, but I can't install it because I can't completely uninstall the Tech Preview version. I've tried everything but there must be still remains left because the Beta version KEEPS telling me that I can't upgrade from the Tech Version.
I have been able to reinstall a full version of Office 2007 that I own, but I really want to follow the development of 2010.
Can anyone suggest how I can remove the partial remains of the Mondo installation???

The mondo version was a hacked version of the Technical Preview, which was widely available on torrent sites.. Unfortunately we can not offer support for pirated software..

This thing won't install on my windows 7 x64 system. I downloaded the bootstrap for home and business. The download did fine. But when I click on it to install, it keeps asking for a drive "Q" to install on. I created a drive Q, but now it keeps saying drive Q is not available or in use. What is going on? I tried to run from the bootstrap instead of saving it, same thing. It looks for the mysterious drive Q.

Looks as if you have a bad download - the Q drive is a virtual drive used to store the applications from the Home & business Click-2-Run Version of office 2010.

remove the drive you have created - if possible uninstall any entries you can.

Re download the installer and try again - it should automatically create the virtual Q drive during the installation

There is a special uninstall application available on the connect site that may be downloaded by those participating in the technical preview

My installation of Office 2010

Thanks Barman58. Removing any reference to a Q drive did the trick. My dvd drive was set to Q initially. I renamed it and created a Q empty drive but it didn't like that either. So I deleted all references to Q as you suggested and it started installing. Here's what happened afterward.

It did step 1 to 3 in a flash but then got into step 4 of 4 and stayed there for nearly 24 hours. it was not doing much according to my process monitor. I let it take its sweet time. It wasn't bothering me. As a matter of fact my puter went to sleep.

During the time it was allegedly doing something in step 4, I couldn't run the office apps that were appearing on my start menu. It kept saying "you can't run the bootstrap while it's repairing or deleting the office application. Wait to finish the current operation and try again". I was not repairing or deleting anything. Not really a very helpful message.

After 24 hours I said enough is enough. I cancelled the "set up step 4 of 4" and stopped two processes of the bootstrap and the smiley and frowny stuff. I clicked Excel on my start menu and lo and behold I started seeing something. It said "microsoft office appears to be unresponsive but it is downloading stuff for my application". Two minutes later, it opened an excel sheet. It did the same for all the office apps and tools that I initiated. I didn't get into the nuts and bolts of using the applications and tools but I am assuming it DID install them. Unfriendly installation and lack of feedback as to what is going on are understatements. I hope that will be fixed in the final release.

I'll write back with feed back soon as I start using the apps.

Thanks again Barman. Ill post you a rep for helping me with the initial hurdle of the Q drive.

The click to run delivery service is a beta technology being used to deliver a beta product - I suppose that a number of issues are to be expected.

The whole point of the delivery system is to save large downloads - a lot of users will only perhaps use word and excel from the whole office suite, and only a small percentage of these applications.

the Idea with click to run is that you only download and install the stuff you actually use and only as you use it. of course the parts you download are only downloaded once then work as a standard application.

I can see this being useful in corporate scenarios where the download would be from a local company server and thus at LAN speeds, if it is tied into licensing structures it could also help reduce business costs, which is something that is always being sought
