Office 2007 "Installation of this package failed"

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

There may or may not be another public beta release. Typically, with prior
betas, there is only one public release and all others are made available to
the technical testers. Microsoft has not made any announcements about this,
one way or the other.

Choosing "upgrade" from Office 2007 rather than "full installation" finally
worked for me. Before that, I kept getting the freeze that most people
described once the "installing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007
(beta)" prompt appeared and froze.

If you don't have any previous editions of Office, maybe downloading a
try-out version of an older version could work, then upgrading to 2007 from
that?

Another option to potentially try is doing the "full installation" method of
2007 and only choose one or two components (i.e. Word or PowerPoint only) and
leaving out all of the extra tools, or not selecting "Run all of this from my
computer" versus "Run on first use of this program" etc. But ei

No. it isn't. You just talked yourself into thinking you had done it. Your
behavior as a representative of Microsoft is disgraceful. You should consider
another line of work.

And my point is that as a representative of Microsoft, you need to
remember
that you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
That
kind of condecending remark will help no one. I saw another one of
your
"like responses in another thread and the two together tells me you
are
in
serious need on an attitude adjustment. May I suggest several
quarts
of
Jack
Daniels and an evening with your favorite "significant other"? I
think
theres been enough said at this point.

My point was that everyone is forewarned that they are on their own
if
they
opt to run the beta. If someone in the MS newsgroups can help,
great.

there's no guarantee that anyone can provide any advice.

JoAnn, I believe we all know there is no actual tech support for
beta
software, but dont you think it would be prudent to at least
offer a
little
asistance rather than a put down to those trying to help find the
bugs?
I
am
having the exact same problem and I am using the beta 2 version
of
Vista.
I
am a 30 year "veteran" working with computers & I could sure use
a
little

And my point is that as a representative of Microsoft, you need
to
remember
that you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with
vinegar.
That
kind of condecending remark will help no one. I saw another one
of
your
"like responses in another thread and the two together tells me
you
are
in
serious need on an attitude adjustment. May I suggest several
quarts
of
Jack
Daniels and an evening with your favorite "significant other"? I
think
theres been enough said at this point.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. Since you are reading it

My point was that everyone is forewarned that they are on their
own
if
they
opt to run the beta. If someone in the MS newsgroups can help,
great.
But
there's no guarantee that anyone can provide any advice.

soldier,
I
*was* one.)


JoAnn, I believe we all know there is no actual tech support
for
beta
software, but dont you think it would be prudent to at least
offer a
little
asistance rather than a put down to those trying to help find
the
bugs?
I
am
having the exact same problem and I am using the beta 2
version
of
Vista.
I
am a 30 year "veteran" working with computers & I could sure
use
a
little
help figuring this one out.

You seem to be under the assumption that I am a MS employee. I'm not. And
did it take you this long to come up with a response to something I posted
last month?

JoAnn Paules

No. it isn't. You just talked yourself into thinking you had done it. Your
behavior as a representative of Microsoft is disgraceful. You should
consider
another line of work.

My job is complete.

No comment. I choose to give you the consideration you deserve, I will
never
responde to one of your posts to me again. You are not worth the
