- Office 2007 Beta cannot install on Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384
- Posted by Cacique on July 26th, 2006
After an unsuccesful upgrade from Windows XP SP2 to Vista Beta 2, I purchased
a new 250GB SATA drive and did a new install. Installing Windows Vista Beta
was at first unsuccessful as it did not have RAID controller drivers to
detect my new HD. However, installing WINDOWS XP and immediately upgrading to
WINDOWS VISTA was succesful. Prior to the installation, I read the release
notes for VISTA which advised that Office 2007 would not install unless I did
a clean install. I tried installing Office 2007 Beta and immediately got an
error message. I had office 2007 working fine on Windows XP and was hoping
since I'm now running Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 in perfect condition,
that I could also continue to enjoy using the new office system.
Unfortunately it will not install.

Why do you want to replace your current OS with one that doesn't have all
the bugs worked out?

Brian,
I guess I'm a risk taker, always trying the newest software, electronics,
etc. Anyway, Vista Beta 5384 is working flawlessly for me. I own the MS
Office Pro 2003 program which I now have installed with VISTA but I was just
hoping I could start using 2007 and get familiar with it until the final
release goes to sale.

What a statement. No question, no nothing, just a list of stuff.
