I'm running Windows 7 32 Bits with all the updates installed.

You have to remove all the beta versions of Office 2013. After this I could install Office 2013 and Visio 2013 without any problems and the cause is probably the Prooffing Tools. I had the same issue. Here is small guide to remove Prooffing tools (That are not appearing to appwiz.cpl = system application).

  1. Go to %windir%\installer
  2. Right click titlebar and select subject
  3. Go each msi through (Subject value) and you'll find some prooffing tools preview installed. (or something else from preview)
  4. Right click it and choose "Uninstall"
  5. After that you should be able to install Office 2013 RTM

You can also see if this can help you.
