hi everyone
i am trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 on my desktop but every i try i get an error that says "Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error: Microsoft Office 2010 does not support upgrading from a prerelease version of Microsoft Office 2010. You must first uninstall any prerelease versions of Microsoft Office 2010 products and associated technologies. Correct the issue listed above and re-run setup"
obviously i have made sure that all other version of Office are uninstalled. i've Googled the hell out of this and the only thing i can find is to use the Windows Install Cleanup program from Microsoft to completely remove any data the tech preview or beta may have left behind. i installed it and about 20 Office related programs show up on the list. the problem is, every time i try to remove them, it takes friggin forever. CPU load goes to 50% and stays that way until i terminate the program. i let it run for 4 hours once before i assumed it was not working.
so i guess my question is how do i either get this Windows Install Cleanup to run, or what are my other options for installing Office 2010? thanks in advance!
