Here is the problem: I installed office 2007, and decided that I did not want outlook 2007. So I uninstalled outlook 2007 pro only to find that outlook 2003 would not work. So to fix outlook, I uninstalled office 2007, and fixed outlook 2003. So now I want to reinstall office 2007 (without outlook) but keep getting the following message right after entering the keycode: "An error occurred druing the installation and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 (Beta) setup was unable to complete." The original uninstall of office 2007 beta 2 worked fine as far as I know. The problem I am having effects all of the beta products. I get the same error even if I try to install visio 2007 beta 2. I have generated my setuplog file from %temp% below and it looks like this last bit is my problem. I keep on getting the same hex error for the same "download ID" each time I try to reinstall the beta: Error: Failed to create download: cannot get or load download from the given download ID "{30120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C".

PERF: TickCount=2041515 Name=RunSetup Description=End function +++++++++++++++++++++++++++Log ends here+++++++++++++++++++++ I looked up the hex error on a bunch of forums and found some interesting prospects to fix the problem. I am assuming that the problem is that the 2007 beta did not remove the reference to the download cache from my registry based on this: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.p...00f6767d3c9af31 Has anyone else had this problem? I think it has to deal with the Local Installation Source (LIS) GUID in the registryAnyone who has an opinion or insight into this problem, I'd love to read what you have to say.
