Hi, Jerry,

When you install any Office component from the suite, Office installs a
bunch of shared components also. The updates are probably trying to update
shared Office components that may or may not directly relate to Infopath.
Individual applications installed from the suite are not listed separately
in the Add/Remove Programs application. They do not have their own setup
executables. Office Update is not always the most intuitive or intelligent
feature of the Office family, as you can see from the multitude of postings
in this newsgroup. You can also choose not to install updates you are not
sure of.

Not knowing exactly what options you selected in the setup program for
Office (to install Infopath), I can't tell you if there was a better way to
install it or not. But what you did certainly doesn't seem wrong, and
though Microsoft doesn't generally support multiple versions of the Office
applications on a single workstation, most folks don't run into major
issues.

Honestly, what I would consider doing is installing all of Office 2003
applications at the same time so you're at the same level across the board.
To upgrade / remove older Office 2000 components, you will need to have the
original installation media for Office 2000 (an unfortunate fact of Office
2000 setup logic that has since been mitigated in later versions of Office).

As for the LiveMeeting issue, that's a new one on me. You might try
re-installing the LiveMeeting components to see if that repairs your
installation.

Since you are new to Office and Windows, are you aware of the free Knowledge
Base? It's a fabulous resource:

Hi Susan,
Hope all is well with you......just to recap and finish up I wanted to go
back to my original needs. I do need to keep 2000 for a while for work
projects but wanted to get moving with infoPath. I will install the entire
suite soon enough so I'll wait till then for infopath too. The live meeting
statement was a wild guess on my part. It seemed odd to me that the webcasts
were the only thing I found not working after the install as I view them
often and disabling AUTHZAX.dll got them working again. I only tied it to
Live meeting due to the fact both office 2003 adn live meeting had their own
entries for IE. It was just a guess though.....who knows why disabling that
file allowed webcasts to start working after the office 2K3 infopath install.
Someone I'm sure would know but I certainly don't. Just a guess. What
happened was I would go to an on demand webcast, hit register(funny you have
to follow the same steps as a live webcast), login to passport, enter a name
to be known by(again why? it's on demand ) and then when I clicked the icon
that takes you to the final screen that gives choice of wmp or some generic
viewer, it would give me a message that the webcast requested Could Not Be
Found. No matter what webcast. I tried probably 25. Again disabling the IE
component, whatever AUTHZAX is, did the trick.
Lastly, you mention that Microsoft does not recommend mixing Office
versions, however in this one case, I read specifically that InfoPath was
the one app that could be installed with Office 2000. In fact it is supposed
to work with Access 2000 as a data source just fine for example. The article
also talked about using it with SQL 2000 and some other non office 2003 apps.
It was a Microsoft article in an MSDN Flash that contained that info and
prompted me to install it. So my adventure was based on info right from the
source. Ok, i've now told you way more than you needed to know about my
little experience.
Thanks for all your information. This is kind of unique situation but I did
learn some valuable things and feel more confident about 2003 from things
you've said.
thanks again.

entries for IE. It was just a guess though.....who knows why disabling that
file allowed webcasts to start working after the office 2K3 infopath install.
Someone I'm sure would know but I certainly don't. Just a guess. What
happened was I would go to an on demand webcast, hit register(funny you have
to follow the same steps as a live webcast), login to passport, enter a name
to be known by(again why? it's on demand ) and then when I clicked the icon
that takes you to the final screen that gives choice of wmp or some generic
viewer, it would give me a message that the webcast requested Could Not Be
Found. No matter what webcast. I tried probably 25. Again disabling the IE
component, whatever AUTHZAX is, did the trick.
Lastly, you mention that Microsoft does not recommend mixing Office
versions, however in this one case, I read specifically that InfoPath was
the one app that could be installed with Office 2000. In fact it is supposed
to work with Access 2000 as a data source just fine for example. The article
also talked about using it with SQL 2000 and some other non office 2003 apps.
It was a Microsoft article in an MSDN Flash that contained that info and
prompted me to install it. So my adventure was based on info right from the
source. Ok, i've now told you way more than you needed to know about my
little experience.
Thanks for all your information. This is kind of unique situation but I did
learn some valuable things and feel more confident about 2003 from things
you've said.
thanks again.
