Tried running RD on a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 (no MS Office). Fails at startup as it's unable to cast Office COM components (such as CommandBarContol) to the corresponding Office.v8 RCW interface.

Further details to follow.

I recall something about SP 2 being required for one reason or the other... let me dig around a bit...

#3033 could be remotely related, that said, the System-Requirements in the Wiki state that Windows Vista or later is required, as such this isn't necessarily something that we want to fix

From chat, this is probably more related to RD not being able to run for VB6 with no Office installed.
