You can select to install in a different folder, but i had lots of problems because of that, ended up removing the previous office manually...

I ended up uninstalling Office 07 to install the beta.

OK I need some serious help. I'm using XP SP3 32 bit. I uninstalled my previous installations of Office 07 and 2010 techincal preview and restarted after each uninstall. I downloaded the beta from MS site and installed it. I restarted my computer but when I open up an application I get "Product Activation Failed". And then when I click on change product key I get some error message telling me to review the log file (which I don't know where it is located).

So what exactly do I do :|

Are you sure the TP was completely uninstalled?


I remember when I had it, it refused to play nice during the uninstall.

TP? what's TP stand for - and I read somewhere that you won't get the red bar if you install it without internet connection but you still might get the 30 day thing...

And also, just in case, how do I make sure I uninstalled whatever TP is completely.

TP = Technical Preview

Just uninstall the 2010 you have installed now, then either run Ccleaner and clean out the registry, or just hunt manually for remnants through regedit

After youve cleaned your registry, restart (for mental reasons) then reinstall the Public Beta
