Hi,

You don't need Office to be installed to install Project. Is this a full
copy or an upgrade version. An upgrade version would be looking for a
previous copy of Project.

Hi Rod
It is a copy i received in my action pack it just says MS Office Project
Professional 2007. The part #on the disk is X13-38154 EN.

Can't help then I'm afraid. But try a custom install and make sure the
folder you nominate is the same as the folder your office apps are in.

It's a known problem with Action Pack - Microsoft sent out upgrade
disks instead of ful copies for project pro 2007. 2 solutions - do you
have a previous action pack - if so - here's what I did
Copy project 2007 media to your PC
insert project 2003 disk in drive - stop the autorun
install project 2007 from PC hard disk using numbers supplied by
microsoft

If you don't - then contact your regional microsoft fulfilment centre
for replacement disk

Thanks for that Mike, I wasn't aware of that.

Hi Rod,
if you have action pack and loaded project 2007 onto a machine where
you'd been running Project 2003, then you wouldn't have noticed.. I
only found the hard way because I took the opportunity to do a
complete re-install of vista and the action pack packages...
