Re: 2007 setup/ Remove '03 first?

I chose "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 (Beta)" from Add/Remove --
I don't think there's a way to uninstall just the patch, since it replaces
the B2 files wholesale.

Forgot about the log, but now that I look at it, the key part seems to be
this section. It's apparently looking for the Beta 2 files in a
"D:\WINDOWS\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\30120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE"
directory, which isn't there for me. I do still have the B2 CD, so it's too
bad that it can't draw from that. I'm not sure what should go in the
directory, however, to get the uninstall to work.

Did you try uninstalling the B2TR patch or did you try uninstalling B2?
Make sure you are uninstalling B2 rather than the patch.

If that's not it then check your error log and see if you can determine
the cause of the failure.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

Any advice on what to do if Office 2007 B2TR uninstall fails? About a
minute after starting, it just quits and says that the uninstall was not
completed.

I have quite a tidy XP SP2 system, my Temp directory is clear, and I've
just rebooted as well.

What's the next step?

No. You need to remove all Office 2007 beta versions before installing
2007 RTM.
