I am trying to install Lync client from Office 365. Some computers I am getting the error:

"We found a pre-release or Beta version of an Office product on your computer and can't install because of it.

Please Uninstall any pre-release Office software using the Program and Features items in your Control Panel and try installing again."

The machine is approximately a year old and has Office 2010.

The software is not pre-release or a Beta version. 

Any ideas on how I can get around this message, without uninstalling and re-installing Office 2010?

Thank you,

Matt

Hi,

The issue is more related to Lync Online. You can also post the question on Office 365 forum for assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

I already did, and was pointed in this direction.

I'm trying to avoid uninstalling Office 2010. That article seemed to indicate that I was using Office 2013.
