Can't install Office Home & Student over OEM trial John from MPLS 6/3/2007 9:40:00 PM Didn't see this exact question in other threads. I replace crashed PC with new HP Media Center(Vista) machine with trail version of Office installed. Purchased 2007 Office H&S in a box (Word, Excel, PPT, OneNote?). It won't install. Doesn't like the product key on box. Is it safe to uninstall the OEM-provided trial version and then install the boxed sw? If so, any problems to look out for? Thanks.

Re: Can't install Office Home & Student over OEM trial "Susan Ramlet" <susan[ at ]mvps-dot-org> 6/4/2007 2:17:21 PM Absolutely, uninstall the trial and install your own. If you have additional problems, run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove references to Office in the registry, then install your purchased version. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-us -- -- Susan Ramlet MVP - Office Please reply to the newsgroup.
