Install Photodraw when Office XP is installed

[Luke]

Hi,

I would like to install photodraw 2000 v2.0 on my
computer, but Office XP is already installed. When
beginning the install, Photodraw ask a few install
option, like clipart, office tools&utilites, fonts, etc.
I stopped the installation because I am afraid of any
conflict beetween Photodraw 2000 MS Office elements and
the newer Office XP commun files. Could somebody tell me
if I can install the full Photodraw 2000 CD with all
options&additions without problem or conflict?

Next, does Photodraw 2000 works perfectly on Windows XP
SP1 with Office XP and all the latest update ?

Thank you

Luke

To answer question 2, IMHO Photodraw never worked perfectly, thus Microsoft
dropped it as a viable product.

As for installing Photodraw along with Office XP, you should really have
done the reverse, install the older product first, apply all required
patches, and then install the newer product and update that.

Thank you very much for your help. It's a good idea to install Photodraw
first. I will uninstall Office XP and try...
