Cannot Install One Note 2007 after Office 07--Ambigous Message

[Chad Harris]

I installed Beta 2 Office 2007 no problem. I wanted to install One Note so
I went to the Office site /downloaded,and it would not allow me to get
through setup--the chararacteristically less than clear error Message from
MSFT was that I have already installed Office and I would need to uninstall
Office. This makes no sense as to usual behavior. Does this mean that I
should have checked Office 2007 and One Note at the same time? It wouldn't
have let me do both installations except one at a time so I don't understand
the screwy error message.

Office 2007 Beta team seems to have designated no specific place for public
Beta support for Office 2007 and of course does not respond to messages to
them via their support boxes on the Office site for the Beta which is par.

So in other words, I installed Office 2007 and now I want to install One
Note and the setup won't run for One Note 2007 becauise it seems nebulously
to say I have to uninstall Office 2007 to get in One Note. That's absurd.
Is there any place to contact Office 2007 and find out what's up with this?

Thanks,

Chad Harris


Afternote:

I believe they compromised themselves anyway by not putting all Vista
testers in the Office program and it will be reflected well into RTM and the
years to come. They would have gotten a more effective run of Beta testing
for their product which seems to be changing it's components on a daily
basis--PDF support here today; PDF support withdrawn the next at the last
minute. Of course Adobe was off the wall concerned--wouldn't the reverse be
true?

Adobe, Vista Changed in Wake of Threat Last modified: June 2, 2006, 1:12 PM

update Microsoft is making changes to the next versions of both Office and
Windows as part of an effort to head off a legal challenge from Adobe
Systems.

"Microsoft said earlier Friday that it expects an antitrust suit from Adobe
after months of negotiations in which the companies failed to reach an
accord.

The software maker is unilaterally making changes to both Office 2007 and
Windows Vista in an effort to assuage some of Adobe's concerns. More
important, the move is an attempt to lower the chances that an injunction
could stop Microsoft from shipping those products."

Steve Sinofsky, Jeff Raikes, Chris Capposella, Brad Smith--this comes as a
late flash or you could have had a premonition a couple years ago and worked
this out with Adobe instead of having a late chaotic back off of .pdf
support?

Hi Chad,

You may want to also post this in the One Note newsgroup.
Generally, MS Office app newsgroups are by product and function rather than version. The link to the OneNote newsgroup is listed
below and on the MS Office 2007 Preview site for OneNote.

You can send feedback to the MS Office team using the feedback tool available in the link below. The feedback links on the Office
Online beta website are for feedback on the content of the site, rather than the products.

You can also post comments and questions to the MS One Note team blogs at http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/ and
http://blogs.msdn.com/owen_braun/

You may also want to check the setup(xxxxxx).log located by using Start=>Run and typing
%temp% {Enter}
to see if it contains information on what failed.

It could be the method used to install or sometimes some of the downloads need to have their files extracted using the MS tools
before installing.
