Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Installation Issues

[Peaches]

Yeah I'll try that cleaner and that un-installer, and thank you very much for all of your help.

For me it usually completed in about 45 seconds. Try rebooting and running it again as admin.

i tried restarting and running it again. i am the admin on my computer so thats not a problem. it seems to be working but its taking a very long time.

Well, I would recommend just letting it run...hopefully it will complete.

Anytime. Hopefully next time I can actually solve your problem. lol

I'm posting this on behalf of Peaches, revo didn't detect Office at all. She is trying it with only using CCleaner since, well, revo didn't detect it.

 

[blackroseMD1]

Just had an idea.

Try using this program from Microsoft. If it detects any files left over from the previous install tries, delete them and then try installing Office again.

Yeah, because I just did what DNG said I was going to do, and I got the same error, I will try that. Thank you again!

 

[blackroseMD1]

No problem. Let me know if it works out for you.

I uninstalled Office and used that Microsoft Installer thing, and it doesn't say anything about Office, then I tried reinstalling it again and I still got the same error.

Has anyone tried installing under Windows XP Mode? I didn't want to rip out my Office XP installation on my W7 64 bit installation as I hated Office 7 and just wanted to look at 2010. I thought I could install it on my XP Mode virtual machine. The installer started to extract files, and about time it finished, the window would go away, and then, a few seconds later, the process would just vanish. No errors, no anything. I watched with Task Manager running, and just seconds after the Extracting Files window goes away, the whole process just vanishes.

Any thoughts? It is supposed to work on XP.

 

[Peaches]

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it work on my Windows 7. :/

 

[gohardsupreme]

can someone please help me? i was able to uninstall office 2007 but can not install the 2010 beta but it is doing something to my computer since every time i try to install i lose more space on my hard drive

 

[blackroseMD1]

Alright Peaches and gohardsupreme...I am going to do some research and see if I can find something that we haven't already tried. I'll get back to you.

Did either of you use the Tech Preview?

 

[Peaches]

Okay, thank you Blackrose again lol.
I am trying to reinstall it again just for the heck of it, and I'll try to look for some stuff too.

 

[Peaches]

I was just installing it, and my laptop shut off during it, and that Windows Install Cleanup you suggested last night recognized all of the Office stuff, so I selected it all and a black box came up so I think it's in the process of removing it, then I will try again. I don't know how to tell when it's done though...

Thank you blackrose. i do not believe i used tech preview since i dont know what it is

Peaches: If it's a command line box, then it is working. When it's done, the box will close. Then you can restart and go ahead and try to reinstall.

gohardsupreme: OK, well, I will keep looking and see what I can figure out.

 

[Peaches]

Okay, I will do that.
How long does it usually take, mine hasn't done anything new in the box for about 25 minutes lol.

 

[gohardsupreme]

thank you. i dont know if this helps but i tried reinstalling office 2007 just to see if it work and that gave me the same error message.

 

[blackroseMD1]

Peaches: It should have been done by now...lol.

gohardsupreme: Yeah, it seems that Office is very picky about installing when you have had a previous version installed, or have leftovers from another install on your system. Have you tried a registry cleaner?

 

[Peaches]

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.
