S7R1K3R Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited September 14, 2006 by S7R1K3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benplace Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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.

C_Guy Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycan Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 According the release notes, it is a patch, you must have the Beta 2 installed. Downloading at 1.38MB/sec :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xab Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) 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! Edited September 14, 2006 by slimy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 ^ I installed both on RC1 without paying since I'm a tester. Any screenshot requests guys, just post :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
