HAHA, I have tried that already. It does not give you the option to
install
only Basic, it installs pro automatically with it. You can do a
custom
install but it does not tell you what programs are included with you
basic
and which ones are only a trial so I have gone through and told it I
don't
want Access, Powerpoint, and Publisher but it still tells me my
picture
manager is a trail....I don't have basic only, the disks I have all
include
the pro trail...I don;t even know if you can get just basic
anywhere...its
not on the website....only OEM when you get your system.

so I
did
not install those, I don't know if there is something else hidden

it

Hi Cafers,

after installation there should be indicators of which items

The Office Picture Manager should be part of all of the Office

We had it preinstalled when we bought the system, they gave us the case with
the license. I asked them about this too and they are trying to tell me it's
because picture manager does not come with basic....but thats a load of
crap...they just don't know why and don't want to spend the time to find out.

We had it preinstalled when we bought the system, they gave us the case with
the license. I asked them about this too and they are trying to tell me it's
because picture manager does not come with basic....but thats a load of
crap...they just don't know why and don't want to spend the time to find out.

HAHA, I have tried that already. It does not give you the option
to
install
only Basic, it installs pro automatically with it. You can do a
custom
install but it does not tell you what programs are included with
you
basic
and which ones are only a trial so I have gone through and told
it I
don't
want Access, Powerpoint, and Publisher but it still tells me my
picture
manager is a trail....I don't have basic only, the disks I have
all
include
the pro trail...I don;t even know if you can get just basic
anywhere...its
not on the website....only OEM when you get your system.

Hi Cafers,

The product CD you have is the Office 2007 'hybrid'. Office
2007
products are modularized and can be combined, although this may
not be one anyone expected g.

As you noted it is a single Office product that contains
both
Office 2007 Basic (OEM) edition (licensed) and
Office 2007 Professional Trial
edition components. In Add/Remove Programs in the Windows
control
panel
the hybrid products is usually listed as simply
Microsoft Office 2007
(i.e. no qualifying edition name suffix is listed)

Both parts of the hybrid product, (the trial and the
perpetual[licensed]
features) may have come preinstalled on a PC, and that is
also the default installation. If you choose custom
installation
when
first installing, or go to the custom installation screen
after installation there should be indicators of which items
are
'perpetual license' and which are trial and you should be able
to
set the trial features to 'Not available' state or simply
let
them
expire at the end of the ~60 day trial period.

The Office Picture Manager should be part of all of the
Office
editions,
including the hybrid, the Professional Edition and the
Basic-OEM edition.

Default REMOVE OFFICE PRO 2007 FROM BASIC INSTALL

Hi Mary,

When using the Office 'backup CD' download site the product you'll get is a 'hybrid'. It contains a combination of the purchased(?)
product and a trial copy of a 'next level' Office 2007 product, using a single Setup routine. When you run setup ('custom' setup
preferred) you get a screen that lists which app is 'perpetual' (licensed) and which is 'trial').

Once the hybrid is installed you can then go back to Add/Remove Programs and select from the Microsoft Office 2007 choice (no
edition name is listed) and set the trial items to 'Not Available'.

Default REMOVE OFFICE PRO 2007 FROM BASIC INSTALL

Anybody ever come up with a solution for this? It appears that Office Small
Business 2007 OEM also is bundled with Office Professional 2007 Trial.

Office Professional 2007 Trial is not listed seperately in "Add And Remove
Programs", so there is no way to remove. If you uninstall and reinstall
Office 2007 there is no option not to install the Trial Version.

Access is the only difference between Small Business and Professional 2007.
Even if you select "Unavailable" for Access during install, the Trial files
seem to be installed anyway. No matter what you try you will continue to get
the "Your Trial Period Of Office Pro Has Expired" popup. Pretty annoying.

MS Office Online Support was not able to resolve this. After many attempts
of uninstall/reinstall, registery cleaning or using the MS Software Removal
Tool, the Expired popup continues.

The only option on the popup is to purchase, ther is no option for cancel or
remove. I don't believe Microsoft really intended for this to happen.

What is needed is a utility to remove the "Trial" version.

my picture manager and I can't use it anymore, it just comes up with the
activation wizard and wants me to buy the professional version. Now from
what I have heard, picture manager should come with all office suits
including basic. How on earth can I fix this so that picture manager works
once again? I can’t find away to uninstall the trail version of professional
from my basic install and I have no idea how else to stop the activation
wizard from popping up all the time except to buy it. Any help would be
awesome!

I am still looking for the fix for this. I even upgraded from basic and
still have the same problem....well as far as I can tell. It is giving me a
30 day trial of Access now, when that is finished we will see what happens.
