Installing Live office 14.0.4.738 on ms office 2010

I cannot install this version of live office on a laptop running windows 7 o/s and ms office 2010.

During the requirement check at the beginning of the install executable I get 2 critical errors and the “Next” button for the install is not active.

This is a first time install of live office on this laptop and I have installed this version of live office successfully on laptops with MS Office 2007 and Windows 7

Can this be installed on this laptop?
The critical error is “Live office supports versions of MS Office 2003 and higher” well isn’t 2010 higher 

This link deals with a similar issue (Xcelsius) but the solution is the same. You need to find the OpenOffice MSI file, edit it with a free editor and use that to install. I used this to work around a similar issue recently, on LiveOffice on Windows XP with Office 2010.

NB: Later versions of LiveOffice are directly compatible with Office 2010 but may not be compatible with your patch level on Business Objects.
