Installing Office 2007 Enterprise on Vista Home after Evaluation

[Oriolus Oriolus]

Hi,

I read several posts dealing with problems to get Office 2007 (Enterprise)
installed on an up-to-date Vista PC.
I run Vista Home Premium and use(d, it's outdated by today) MSO 12.0.6017.
5000 Evaluation.
I have a valid Office 2007 Enterprise (NL) on DVD and I wonder how I should
handle the installation.
Can someone advise me what the do's and don'ts are in this respect?
I expect it to be necessary to uninstall the eval.version.
Do I need to back up particular files, settings or folders to be able to go

Disable the Antivirus during installation. Disable it with the
following steps:

Start | Run, type msconfig
Go to the Services tab.
Choose to disable all non-Microsoft applications and services.
Reboot the system.
Once logged back on the machine, MSConfig will start up, cancel it.
Start the setup.exe for Office 2007.
After the installation, go back into MSConfig, services tab, and place a
check in the box next to the disabled software.

Is this the raod that I should go when I want to switch over to the
Enterprise version, coming from the Evaluation version?

I would be very obliged if someone would like to advise and help me through
this journey, or send me to sites where I can find a stepwise menu to be
followed.

TIA, Oriolus

Uninstall trial first
You should have data backups anyway, not that an Office Install/Uninstall
impacts on the data files
You are allways advised to exit/close AV specifically and other apps when
installing software, usually the App exit procedure is sufficient
