No. You need to remove all Office 2007 beta versions before installing
2007 RTM.

Any advice on what to do if Office 2007 B2TR uninstall fails? About a
minute after starting, it just quits and says that the uninstall was not completed. I have quite a tidy XP SP2 system, my Temp directory is clear, and I've just rebooted as well.

Did you try uninstalling the B2TR patch or did you try uninstalling
B2? Make sure you are uninstalling B2 rather than the patch. If that's not it then check your error log and see if you can determine the cause of the failure.

I chose "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 (Beta)" from Add/Remove --
I don't think there's a way to uninstall just the patch, since it replaces the B2 files wholesale. Forgot about the log, but now that I look at it, the key part seems to be this section. It's apparently looking for the Beta 2 files in a "D:\WINDOWS\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\3012000 0-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE" directory, which isn't there for me. I do still have the B2 CD, so it's too bad that it can't draw from that. I'm not sure what should go in the directory, however, to get the uninstall to work. Catalyst Package Uninstall...

Actually, it may just be '\WINDOWS\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed' we're
talking about here. It's that, I guess, I need to reconstruct. Anyone with an idea of how its contents is structured? "Milhouse Van Houten" wrote in message ...

If I'm not mistaken, if you turn on "Show Updates" then B2TR is listed
separately. If the installer files are missing then see if Windows Installer Cleanup utility works for you. Use it to remove only the references to the Office 2007 beta version. Once that is complete then you'll need to reinstall the beta to point the Windows Installer to your installation CD so you can then uninstall Office: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290301 Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
