--- Comment #45 from Derek Atkins warlord@mit.edu ---
It will be fixed eventually, don't worry. You already named one of the reasons > why it's not already fixed - it's not a real blocker for Office 2013.
I disagree. It *IS* a real blocker for Office 2013. It's just not the *only* blocker. That's what is meant by "necessary but not sufficient." Office13 will never install without this issue being fixed. However there are more issues that will also need to be fixed to get Office13 to install even after this issue is fixed. But getting to those issues requires fixing this one first, because you don't HIT those issues while this issue still exists.
