[psyko_x]

yea it really is a patch :(

god thats so annoying. MS needs to learn what a patch is

anyways im just about done downloading beta2

[Colin-uk Veteran]

wtf its downloading at 25kb/s :pinch:

my guess is that its a full install, but it checks to see if beta 2 i installed first and stops if it isnt..

I am sure Microsoft knows what they're doing :rolleyes:

already installed it. Seems better but there are some errors with files not being the correct one. Oh and I got 750kb/s all the way through and it took about 7 min to download. The speeds arent bad.

got in 4 mins at 1328kb/s :D man i love my cable connection. Just installing it now :)

Installed Beta 2, then went to install this and at the end I get an error, Installation cannot be completed. It looks like it ran though, because I have new Icons. Now when I launch Outlook I get system resources not available. Guess its back to 2003.

win95 + wordpad has been ok till now... i need some extra features they never ended up implementing though.

will this work on win95?

If Office 2003 is not supported on Windows 9x, why would Office 2007 be supported????

According the release notes, it is a patch, you must have the Beta 2 installed. Downloading at 1.38MB/sec :D

Can someone please explain exactly how to download/where Beta2TR? I'm a member of the technical beta and I can't even figure out how to get this. The beta page says to go to the Office 2007 Beta Preview page to get it, but that wants to charge me $1.50. Microsoft says on the Beta page that Beta2TR is available there for no charge, but it isnt. I can't find the download on the technical beta page either.

[kaffra]

a 500MB patch? i don't believe that. 9 minutes left for me

it says so on the email microsoft sent out, most beta2tr requires beta-2 to be installed first.

You can install it to a directory other than the defauilt have have microsoft 2003 and 2007 on the same machine

Nope, the only links in the email are to slide shows talking about how to install Beta2TR that don't work , nothing about actually CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD BETA2TR

And I cant find such a file on betaplace either.

Anyone having trouble openning beta 2 "old" files? like, docx, xlsx created prior refresh 2?

Yeah! Nothing will open!! :o

Any ideas?

[max84]

I tried installing it, but it gives me an error? Beta 2 is installed and activated, but the update fails. Anyone have this problem?

[mail]

Great ... the update screwed up now nothing works :/.

[Slimy]

75% done, going fairly slowly because I refuse to turn utorrent off :shifty:

Hopefully yours won't be a screwed version, seems most people's can't open any documents

UPDATE - If you have this error and have norton installed, go to norton options and turn off Office plug in and files should open now, works for me

I hope so too. For now, the install is taking absolutely forever on Vista.

Offtopic: Why are you using Norton. I would seriously recommend you to use something else :/

Edit: Screenshot!

Can Beta 2 be installed on Vista RC1 in order to upgrade to Beta 2 TR? (Using that 500 MB Patch). Or do you need to pay $1.50 to download the full install of Beta 2 TR in order to install on Vista? (I have the Beta 2 installer as I was an Office 12 tester).

[Slimy]

^ I installed both on RC1 without paying since I'm a tester. Any screenshot requests guys, just post :)
