Vista 5308 / Office 2007 Beta2 work OK together ?

I've used Vista 5308 for a while and I just now downloaded/installed Office
2007 beta 2.
From available Office 2007 downloads, I chose and installed:
Office Pro
Outlook Business Contact Mgr
One Note
Project

I did not "register for support" after any of the apps installed. I rebooted
before trying any apps ( figuring I'd then register) and when I try to run
any of them I get an error and a popup asking if I'd like to send an error
report to MSFT. I don't know / it doesn't tell me what the error is , BUT
in Control Panel - Solutions - it does say that it is a known error and will
be fixed in the next release. Am I on Candid Camera ? My download is 2 hours
old and it's a KNOWN bug and will be fixed Next time - No office app even
STARTS ( yes i'm yelling at my PC) !!!

Perhaps Office 2007 Beta and Vista Beta don't work together ?
Although I thought that THAT was the whole idea ? I sent them this text as
feedback. Any suggestions to get this going ? I'm off to look for answers
( someplace other than MSFT website which doesn't offer me any solution).

I believe that I have read that Office 2007 Beta requires the Vista Beta 2
(5384 build).

I believe you are running an incompatible build, update to Vista beta 2
5384.4.

Office 2007 beta does NOT require Vista Beta 2... I'm running it fine with
no problems on MCE 2005... :-)

I think the emphasis was on the build version nor the OS version. ;-)

Curious, any issues come to mind installing Vista beta 2 as dual boot
with Office 2007 beta 2 already installed...?

You might want to rethink that question:
Windows Vista - Client operating system
Office 2007 - Productivity suite.

You can dual boot Vista on a logical partition with Office 2007 BETA 2
installed on another version Windows, XP, Server 2003 or earlier build of
Windows Vista.

Exactly. With the beta 2 of Office 2007 installed under my original
OS (XP), a dual-booted install of Vista could, and should, care less.
I'll now return to my dish Andre. As always, thanks for your help.
