If you go to the Microsoft Office homepage in Phoenix it tells you that you need to be running ie5.01 (which isn’t supported by Microsoft anymore!) or Netscape Navigator 6 or later. NOw I would have thought Phoenix is later than NN6 as it comes from the same source originally (i’m sure Neil will correct me if i’m wrong). So you click on the “more information on supported browsers” where they pop up a message saying people may get problems even when using a supported browser. Then asks you if this page helped. When you say No it asks you WHY ….after selecting “information is wrong” the Next button doesn’t do anything. Unfortunately if you use ie6 then you are unlikely to see the error message and therefore can’t go through the wizard.

Yep, NN6 was based on Gecko, the same rendering engine behind all Mozilla browsers.
IIRC the problem is that Mozilla and its friends always identify themselves as Mozilla/5.0, where Netscape calls itself Mozilla/6.0 or above – so it’s possible MS set the browser sniffer too high.
