Web Expressions Beta and Office 2007 setup conflicts

[Burger23]

I have what I believe to be the Office 2007 Professional RTM version. And I
have downloaded the trial version of Web Expressions (Beta 1).

I first install Office 2007-it installs fine. Then I try to install Web
Expressions and I get the error message below.

I uninstall Office 2007, and install Web Expressions- it in stalls fine.
Then I try to install Offfice 2007 and I get the identical error message.

The 2007 Office is not an upgrade- the parition has been reformed, Shouldn't
the Web Expressions beta work with the RTM Office 2007?

"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following errors: The 2007 Microsoft
Office system does not support upgrading from a prerelease version of the
2007 Microsoft Office system. You must first uninstall any prerelease
versions of the 2007 Microsoft Office system products and associated
technologies. Correct these isssues and re-run setup."

You have to use the RTM version of Office 2007 and the RTM version of
Expression Web. If you downloaded the trial of Expression Web, then it
is the RTM version.
One of the programs you are trying to install is not RTM, but Beta.

Thanks so much, Patrick. You hit the nail squarely on the head. I installed
Office 2007- then I went online to get Web Expressions. But when it asked me
if I wanted to save the file, I declined since it was exactly the same name
as what I already had- which it turns out was the beta- dated 11/06/. When I
downloaded the RTM version, all worked fine.

Thanks again...
