Deploying Office 2003

[Shane]

Hi,

I am about to start deploying Office 2003 to a network of
about 150 PC's. Many of the PC's currently run a Pro
version of Office but when 2003 is installed it will only
be Standard. When I run the custom installation wizard for
Office 2003 Standard I get to the screen about removing
previous versions of Office come unstuck. You see, I would
like to remove ALL of the previous versions of Office from
the machines but because I am only installing Office 2003
Standard, the Custom Installation Wizard does allow me to
remove Pro applications like Access. Can someone help to
work around this please?

Thanks.

Hi, Shane,

Another person posted not too long ago a similar issue. He resolved it by
running the custom maintenance wizard for the previous Office version to
remove the extraneous applications, then ran the upgrade with the CIW
transform for Office 2003.

Would that work for you?

The vast majority of the pre-existing versions of Office
were installed manually, can the custom maintenance wizard
run against those installations? The current installations
are also any of three different versions of Office from 97
through to XP, can I set up something to test for version
and the run the appropriate maintenance wizard? Can these
two things be set up as part of the new install of Office
2003 so they are executed before the new version is
installed?

I was hoping that maybe there was a way that I could trick
the removal wizard into removing everything to do with
previous versions of Office so that it can all happen as
part of the new install.

Btw, the new installs are going to be deployed using Group
Policy, if that helps.

Thanks.
