MS Office 2007 beta fails to start after installing File Converter

[anil.rita]

The web page for Office 2007 beta had a download for File Converter
utility - since one cannot Save As
anything other than pdf or .docx, I installed it.
Error: "there is not enough memory or disk space to run word"

50Gb free space, 512 Mb Ram. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Unsuccessfully tried these Steps to fix:

1) renamed normal.dot as suggested at microsoft.com. Failed.
2) Tried to start in Safe mode. Failed.
3) Repaired from Control Panel. Failed to start.

Powerpoint also fails to start.

Microsoft is strangely silent. The Microsoft MVPs seem to be at a loss
to fix this problem in the other newsgroups I googled.

thanks,
Anil

Hi Rita,

The MS Office 2007 Converter pack is for use on computers that do not have MS Office 2007 on it.

Separately, if you are using a beta 2 or B2TR edition of Office 2007 and you mix that with the release version of the Converter
pack, then things may not work. You may want to replace the beta products with the 60-day trial version of Office 2007 from
http://trymicrosoftoffice.com

Let's take this step by step:
1. What exactly did you install? What was the name of it? Or the
filename? Best, do you still have the link where you downloaded it from?
2. I am not sure where you got the idea that 2007 can't save anything
but pdf or docx. It can save a lot more than that.
3. Which beta version do you have? Office button, Word Options,
Resources. What does it say under about as version info?
My guess: You downloaded the Compatibility Pack (which is NOT for Office
2007), but downloaded the rtm/final version of it and installed it on a
beta version Office 2007, which would result in nothing really working.

Thanks for replying.
1) Office beta 2007. File version 12.0.4017.1003
2) When you choose the Save As, what file types can you save to? In the
beta, I only saw pdf and Word 97-2003.

The web page for Office 2007 beta had a download for File Converter
utility - since one cannot Save As
anything other than pdf or .docx, I installed it.
Error: "there is not enough memory or disk space to run word"
50Gb free space, 512 Mb Ram. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Unsuccessfully tried these Steps to fix:
1) renamed normal.dot as suggested at microsoft.com. Failed.
2) Tried to start in Safe mode. Failed.
3) Repaired from Control Panel. Failed to start.
Powerpoint also fails to start.
Microsoft is strangely silent. The Microsoft MVPs seem to be at a loss
to fix this problem in the other newsgroups I googled.

Yes, I did download the final Compatibility pack - but how do I fix it?
Trying to add/remove features from control panel, I dont know where the
pack features are installed to.
thanks,
Anil

Thanks for replying.
1) Office beta 2007. File version 12.0.4017.1003
2) When you choose the Save As, what file types can you save to? In the
beta, I only saw pdf and Word 97-2003.
thanks,
Anil

Let's take this step by step:
1. What exactly did you install? What was the name of it? Or the
filename? Best, do you still have the link where you downloaded it from?
2. I am not sure where you got the idea that 2007 can't save anything
but pdf or docx. It can save a lot more than that.
3. Which beta version do you have? Office button, Word Options,
Resources. What does it say under about as version info?
My guess: You downloaded the Compatibility Pack (which is NOT for Office
2007), but downloaded the rtm/final version of it and installed it on a
beta version Office 2007, which would result in nothing really working.
