Re: Office 2007 Beta Programs reconfigure each time



1. Why would anyone recommend a BETA that is due to end in 2 weeks?

2. If you use Office 2003 apps and Office 2007 apps interchangeably, this is the normal behavior. Each version needs to reconfigure the ..dlls it uses for its functions. When you switch to another version of the same app, the same thing applies. One reason Microsoft discourages people from running 2 or more versions on the same machine.

After furious head scratching, Jo asked:

| Outlook and other 2007 Programs want to reconfigure upon launch. This
| does not seem related to any other program running. It is really
| annoying to have to wait for the status bar to fill.
|
| This seems to be worse after I downloaded the update to the Beta
| programs.
|
| Somehow it also is affecting my Office Pro 2003 programs. Why should
| that be?
|
| Microsoft has to do something about this, it is making me re-think
| recommending the Beta to anyone now.
