Guys just mentioning this link

To get the connector working for hotmail. I haven't tested myself yet...

I actually think this IS the REAL deal!

Check this site: Introducing Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

It was up officially but now it's only available through Google's cache system.

Notice they talk there also about 'Technical Preview'.

I don't doubt that this is a real version of the Office 2010 suite , just that it may be another pre-Beta Technical preview - rather than the actual Beta

Attendees of the Worldwide Partner Conference do get invites for the tech preview of Office 2010

That will be what this is

So I installed it on 2 machines. Things seem a bit weird. First of all I cannot uninstall it? It tells me it is corrupted. This happened on 2 or 2 machines I installed it on. One the 32-bit edition and 1 the 64-bit edition.

2ndly, I use the outlook connector, and the new that works with the Technical Preview, doesn't work with this version. It doesn't even recognize it is installed. It tells me I need 2003, 2007, or 2010 installed, when I have this build installed, but not the real technical preview. This does seem odd. If it is in fact beta1, why is it still called the technical preview? MS has never jumped from the technical preview, to beta without changing the name.

I am starting to have doubts about this build.

Maybe it's an attempt at fighting leakers? Just a theory.

Well whatever that crap is, it stuck on 2 machines with no way to uninstall it. Time to do a system restore. Back to Office 2007 or the real TP, not the one named beta1 but still says TP.

try removing it via ccleaner?

 

[7echno7im]

I thought ccleaner just ran the uninstaller? Either way, I just ran a system restore to right before it. I am going to install the TP again and see what happens, not the supposed B1. Anyone else having issues? If you have it installed, can you just start to run the uninstaller and see if you get a warning right way about the installer being corrupted? All features seemed to work, except for other programs actually seeing it installed.

 

[7echno7im]

Wait. I think ccleaner removes the reg entry that the program registers as an installed product. I think that is the problem though, that that key does not exists, so the uninstaller and programs that check for that key do not see it as an installed product. I will check on my 32-bit machine. I already ran the system restore on my 64bit.

CCleaner cleans up your whole registry and can repair it. Let us know how it works for you.

ccleaner does not uninstall apps, its for deleting your temp files, cache,....

Yes it does, you have the option under tools

 

[BigBro10]

It does.

 

[7echno7im]

well it has the option to run the uninstaller, or deleted it from the registry from currently installed apps, tricking the windows installer service to think it is not installed.

So i just rolled back to the real technical preview and gonna stick with this until MS officially announces their Beta 1 of 2010. In the meantime, Outlook 2010 is so awesome for email threads for forums!!! It can collapse and expand like emails. No more sifting thru 100 emails just to get to the next thread!

 

[BigBro10]

is this beta good to get? is there any problems? I might install it after my reformat when i have time.

 

[7echno7im]

I think the beta that "leaked" was bad. I installed it on 2 machines (32 and 64 bit) and I could not uninstall from either. Told me the installer was corrupt., even though everything seemed to run fine. Then when I tried to install the new outlook connector (which checks for outlook) it said Outlook 2010 was not installed. I didn't have any problems with the technical preview, but many with Beta1. So I am staying away from it. reinstalled the real technical preview and it runs great.
