Official Office 2010 Tech Preview (Invitation)

[Dane]

As soon as I load up outlook, I tried to import things, it locked up.

Now as soon as I open it...."Not responding"

Frown sent to them. POS. lol.

I am now repairing it. If that doesnt work its getting uninstalled and then re installed.

Found the invitation - in Gmail's spam folder. Thanks Google.

Thank you! I was looking for my invite and since Gmail doesn't show the Spam folder by default anymore I would of had no idea.

Not sure how long you waited, but it is generally a good idea to give it some time. As it probably is upgrading your PST file more than anything else.

Got mines and currently installing it on my laptop! :D

I had that error too. I just looked through my connect directory until it came up, pressed apply and did it through there.

I suppose that the error had something to do with the registration. After I posted about the error, I looked around in the connect directory and found the download. I guess I wasn't expecting to have to browse through the connect directories.

Got it installed (32-bit). Haven't really seen anything that looks different from Office 2007, except for the animated "splash" screen when starting the office apps.

There is no PST file for it to use.

Windows Mail doesn't use PST files sadly. So it only said it couldn't find them. then it doesnt work.

Uninstalled it, then reinstalled but it kept the settings, so i am back at square one.

ugh this is such a mess. I try to import a save that I have of my Contacts and Inbox, but it says the PST file is already in use!

What the ****!

How can I import my contacts and Inbox that are PST folders?

When I start outlook it says "Cannot find inbox.pst file"

I hit ok

it says "Cannot find contacts.pst file"

I point it to where they are at. and it goes away,

then I go to "Import" and it wont let me import them because they are "already in use".

I got the issue fixed.

Now it has an option to import from Windows Mail. It imports my contacts. But not my email.

Got mine :D

Before I can install the 64 bit version I would have to uninstall 32 bit Office 2007 and Expression 2. :\

Going to see if I can download the 32 bit version of office now.

[Dane]

Can someone help me out.

When I set up an account it gives it, its own folder. and doesn't go to the default place.

below.

It places my email separately and doesn't do anything under "inbox".

What am I doing wrong?

I cannot make my gmail default for some reason

:( the 64-Bit installer does not support Windows XP Professional x64. How crummy.

[JonathanMarston]

I just got my invite. For those that have installed it: does it seem stable enough for daily use? I'm trying to decide if I'll install it on my work laptop or not.

Also, does anyone know if SharePoint Server 2010 will ever be part of the technical preview?

[qdave]

you are all very lucky :p i am still awaiting mine, which i doubt will come :(

Did you setup and Exchange or Hotmail account?

I saw mine yesterday as well...will download at home where I don't need to deal with 56k-type speeds.

[Dane]

No, at one point I had office 2007 installed. It took a fit, and I uninstalled it, so when I installed this version somewhere, the settings were around and it imported that.

If I go and delete those old files, outlook says "Cannot find Inbox and contacts.pst"

[master2k27]

Nothing yet.

its pending on connect :(

[Cartoondad]

Hopefully this hasn't been posted before...

Just received this email from Microsoft Connect:

The build number is 14.0.4006.1110.

Anybody else got the above?

Yup, got mine through this evening, and I installing it now...

[NateB1]

Got it last night, will be installing as soon as I get home. :D

[Dane]

Removed outlook. Word is fine.

[freak180]

I believe its stabled enough for everyday use, however, you would need to reinstall in every 30 days.

[Timelimit]

just got my invite and have already downloaded it :D

anyone know if its possible to have this installed alongside office 2007? want to have it on my work laptop but need to keep 2007 running at the same time. :pinch:

[boogerjones]

So basically the Tech Preview is almost a month older than the build that was leaked a couple days ago.
