Why is my Office 2013 failing in Windows 10 preview?

[WPCentral Question]

office 2013 fails in windows 10 preview

Running Windows 10 preview, Office 2013 fails to launch or opens with incomplete menus then crashes. Is the a Windows 10 bug or conflict with Office 201

Pretty sure it's an issue with corruption in windows somewhere. Just had to wipe my drive and reinstall 10049 yesterday to get office going again. On the plus side I have no issues what so ever with this build so it looks like there is still some issues if you use the upgrade path.

Office 2013 programs fail? Or the Office Preview apps?
An Office repair should sort Office 2013.
The preview apps (at one point, possibly still?) had to be installed before Office 2013. Or they'd just never launch.

Tried that, issue, at least on my end, appeared to be that what ever installer account that office was trying to use was not set up correctly and lacked privaliges. Event viewer was showing a slew of access denied when trying to register certain registry settings.
