How can you tell if "technical refresh" is installed?

So long as you have the technical refresh installed your beta is
good until the end of March as Sue has said. That should also mean
that Microsoft should have the final version available before the
end of the 1st quarter. In an ideal world Vista and Office 2007 will
be released at the same time or within days of each other. Of course
Microsoft will only release Vista + Office 2007 when they're 'ready'
and not before.

Are you saying even if the final retail version of Office 2207
comes out in early of 2007 we will still be able to use the beta
until the end of March?

I just went to the Office 2007 download area, logged in etc and
saw:
" Select each product you wish to download for a download service
fee
of
$1.50 each " and expires in Feb 2007

The TR1 download won't do any good if you can't get Office 2007
beta
2 to
install. I loaded Vista pre RC1 and cannot get any of the 2007
Office betas
to install. What I found interesting, Office 2003 won't install
either. I
had to go back to Office XP.

2007 Office System Beta 2 compatibility
If you are using 2007 Office system Beta 2 be sure to download
the
2007
Microsoft Office system Beta 2 Technical Refresh, the most
recent
update.
(The Technical Refresh is required to use Office Beta 2 with
Windows
Vista
RC1.)


Here is the link for Office Refresh, however, it is currently
not
available.
I am thinking that when they release Vista RC1 to the public,
they
will also
release the Office update.

Hi,

Installed Office 12 Beta on a fresh installation of Vista
(x86)
RC1 Build
5600.
Installation suceeds but when I try to start any of the
office
apps I get

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows
will notify
you if a solution is available." Only option is a "Close
program"
button.

I've even tried starting them in XP Compatability mode but
get the
same
error.

Office 2003 wors fine though
