Hello My Friend,

Welcome to Just Answer.com. My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am a Microsoft- Certified Technician who will assist you today. I understand how important this is for you. I will put in my best effort to help you out. This process might require multiple contacts from both sides.

1) Download and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Highlight one by one every Office related entry on the list. (This will take you ten minutes or so).

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

2) Then meticulously follow this MSKB. You probably won't find every file they name--nor every registry subkey or value they ask you to look for to delete, but this will rememdy what is a complete uninstall that is part of the problem you're having now.
This works for the Tech Preview as well as Office 2007

3) Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 and ctrl+a higlight every file in that folder>shift +delete them off the box.

4) Restart and run the setup again, and turn off any antivirus program including MSE that you have running during setup until Office is in



If this does not fix, please get back to me.
