Office 2002 vs 2003 Setup

[JCO]

Currently have Office XP (2002) installed. I have Office 2003 and would
like to install it. The 2003 version is not an upgrade but the full
Professional suite.

Should I un-install the old first then install the new?
I don't want both version on my computer. I will export the PST file so
that I save everything... that's not an issue.
Thanks

Hi All,

Thank you for posting here!

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you installed Office
2002 on the computer, and you want to install to the Office 2003. If I have
misunderstood your concern, please let me know.

Actually Microsoft does not recommend our customer to install multiple
versions of Office on the computer as some conflication may occure between
these different versions of Office. Regarding to your situation, I suggest
you backup your Office data, and remove the Office 2002 completely before
installing the Office 2003. For more information about how to backup the
Outlook data, please refer to the following document.

KB287070: OL2002: How to Back Up, Restore, or Move Outlook Data
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;287070

Regarding removing the Office, I suggest you refer to the following steps.

1. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D

2. After you install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, click Start
menu-> All Programs-> Windows Install Clean Up.

3. Highlight all Microsoft Office entries in the list and then click
Remove. Quit the Utility.

4. Open Windows Explorer, and do the following:

Browse to the "C:\Program Files" folder
If it exists, rename the "Microsoft Office" to "Microsoft Office OLD"
If it exists, rename "OfficeUpdate" to "OfficeUpdate OLD"

5. Click Start menu-> Run, type "%Temp%" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box and press Enter.

6. Empty the %Temp% folder. [Note: If you are unable to empty temp folder,
please come into Windows safe mode to empty the temp folder: restart
computer and keep pressing F8 to come into Windows safe mode.

7. Empty the Recycle Bin.

8. Restart your computer and then install Office 2003.

Hi JCO,

If you install Office 2003, even though not an upgrade package, it will ask you if you want to replace the Office XP/2002 apps with
the 2003 ones. If you choose custom setup rather than 'normal' setup you can choose specific details of features and apps. Before
starting and after installation of the 2003 edition check in Add/Remove programs to see if you have more than one listing remaining
for Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2002 and 2003 apps. Installing a new version usually doesn't remove any apps that don't have a
replacement in the new version.

Note that the only differences between the upgrade and 'full product package' editions are (a) price and (b) that the upgrade
version looks for an older version when installing/reinstalling.

As Warner suggested, as with any major upgrade of software backing up your data first as a safety point is a good idea.

=========
Currently have Office XP (2002) installed. I have Office 2003 and would
like to install it. The 2003 version is not an upgrade but the full
Professional suite.

Should I un-install the old first then install the new?
I don't want both version on my computer. I will export the PST file so
that I save everything... that's not an issue.

Hi JCO,

If you install Office 2003, even though not an upgrade package, it will ask you if you want to replace the Office XP/2002 apps with
the 2003 ones. If you choose custom setup rather than 'normal' setup you can choose specific details of features and apps. Before
starting and after installation of the 2003 edition check in Add/Remove programs to see if you have more than one listing remaining
for Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2002 and 2003 apps. Installing a new version usually doesn't remove any apps that don't have a
replacement in the new version.

Note that the only differences between the upgrade and 'full product package' editions are (a) price and (b) that the upgrade
version looks for an older version when installing/reinstalling.

As Warner suggested, as with any major upgrade of software backing up your data first as a safety point is a good idea.

=========
Currently have Office XP (2002) installed. I have Office 2003 and would
like to install it. The 2003 version is not an upgrade but the full
Professional suite.

Should I un-install the old first then install the new?
I don't want both version on my computer. I will export the PST file so
that I save everything... that's not an issue.
Thanks >>

I uninstalled Office 2002 and installed Office 2003.
I can't open any of my pictures. I use to use MS PhotoEditor from Office
2002. I like that program a lot. I don't see PhotoEditor on 2003. What do
I do.

Currently I don't have a program associated with my pictures.
