Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Installation Issues

Yeah I'm giving up with Windows Installer, and I'm almost ready to just completely re-install Windows 7, as this would probably solve the problem (whatever it is) but it'd be nice if there was an easier way lol.

I had to do that a couple of times to get the Tech Preview to install. If you don't have a ton of stuff to backup, then I would definitely do that. Nothing like a fresh install to solve your problems. :)

i ran ccleaners registry cleaner and tried to install the beta again. still no luck and i cant reinstall office 2007 so now i have no office at all.

Have you tried to install Click-To-Run Office?

I'm surprised this wasn't caught in testing. Seems like a bug you want to get fixed before releasing it to the public. MS wants to make a good impression after all!

Yeah, no kidding. Every version of Office 2010 (Tech Prev, Click to run, Beta) has had installation and uninstallation issues. I guess MS is still riding to high from the buzz around Win7 to notice.

So, I uninstalled it, ran Ccleaner, deleted all the files related to office I could find, and this happened:

Yeah, if this doesn't work I will just start clean. :)

Your PC is just full of errors.

Yeah, lol. I'm trying the installation again then I'll just reinstall Windows 7. :P

Office 2010 apparently doesn't like anyone. lol
