.. I need to install an legacy application that will not install properly
when ofc2k3 is the current application. Furthermore, the app wants small
business tools for office 2k installed
I can't uninstall ofc 2k3 because there are too many settings and
applications depending on that
possibly a naive questions:
is it possible to make the ofc 2k3 look like ofcXp in terms of word and
excel?
is it possible to install small business tool from ofc 2k pro without
destroying ofc2k3?
Note that if office Xp or office 2k is the current office application, the
legacy application will install properly and will work even when ofc is
updated to 2k3.
I tried changing the hkcr Excel.application and Word application keys as
well as HKLM keys for excel and word but did not help to get the legacy app
to install . Don't know what it looks for. I guess the programmers or
designer of the legacy must have decided to limit the life span of the
legacy app by linking to specific office version.
BTW virtual machine is not an option - client does not want that for
production beside his laptop does not have the resoruces to support VM
