Office 2002 vs 2003 Setup

[JCO]

Okay, I reinstalled Photo Editor from my Office 2002 CD.
Good thing I didn't get rid of that CD. Hate to have to keep both. Silly
that Photo Editor can't be in the 2003 CD, but I guess the brains at MS are
suppose to know what they are doing.

Thanks

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817095/en-us "Photo Editor is
removed when you install Office 2003" and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827740/en-us "List of Photo
Editor features which are not available in Picture Manager 2003".

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.

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

5E1BD/msicuu2.exe

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.

If there is anyting unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks for the info. I actually uninstalled everything then installed the
2003 version. I was upset at the fact that PhotoEditor was removed from the
2003 options. After doing some other research, it turns out that many other
people like PhotoEditor too. Therefore, they recommend putting in the older
version CD (2002) and install only PhotoEditor by itself. This is what I
did.

Everything works fine and no information was lost.
Why did they take PhotoEditor out? Any one else have this same 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.

Thanks for the info. I actually uninstalled everything then installed the
2003 version. I was upset at the fact that PhotoEditor was removed from the
2003 options. After doing some other research, it turns out that many other
people like PhotoEditor too. Therefore, they recommend putting in the older
version CD (2002) and install only PhotoEditor by itself. This is what I
did.

Everything works fine and no information was lost.
Why did they take PhotoEditor out? Any one else have this same 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.

Hi All,

Thank you for the suggestions.

Actually Photo Editor will be removed when you upgrade to Office 2003 from
Office 2002. Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with a new photo editing
and cataloging program in Office 2003: Microsoft Office Picture Manager. If
you really want to install this feature on the computer, I suggest you
consider the following workaround method.

1. Insert the Microsoft Office XP CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive.
2. If the Office XP Setup program does not start automatically, follow
these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Open box, type drive:\Setup.exe, where drive is the letter of
your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

3. Start to step through the Setup process, and then select Customize for
the type of Setup to perform.
4. When you reach the Selecting Features step, set each node of the Setup
tree to Not Available.
5. Under Features to install, expand Office Tools.
6. Click Microsoft Photo Editor, and then click Run from My Computer.
7. Click Install Now.
8. Click OK when Office XP Setup has completed successfully.
