My new computer came pre-loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have a
bought version of Office XP Professional (2002 version) that has never been
used. I have been unable to load it onto Vista - is it compatible??
When I run Setup, it goes through the usual stuff - enter product ID, do you
want to remove previous versions of Office (I say remove all), how do you
want to install (I choose COMPLETE), do you accept conditions (I select YES).
The Installation Wizard then puts up the Progress screen - the one with "Now
Installing Office" as the title, an Installation Progress bar and a "Current
Action:" field.
But it just stays there - nothing ever appears in the current action field
and the installation progress bar never starts.
Task Manager shows that it is Running, And there are three occurrences of
MSIEXEC.EXE (Windows installer) showing in the Task Manager Processes, but
they never get any CPU usage, staying permanently on 00. If I stop these
three processes and go through the whole procedure again, I will again get 3
occurrences of the installer running.
So, no error messages, just no action !!!
When I start the SETUP program I am using "Run as Administrator" in Vista.
Does anyone have any idea how to Install Office XP (2002) on Vista ????
Thanks
