Office 2003 and Frontpage XP (2002) issues?

B

BadHead

Hi,

I have read in many locations that it is possible to install one version of
Office alongside another version and therefore I thought it would be
possible to install a component from an earlier Office release alongside a
later Office Release, but I seem to be having some problems.

I tried to install Frontpage 2002 alongside Office Professional 2003, but
Office Professional kept on wanting to "Detect and Repair" itself. After
uninstalling Frontpage 2002 and "Detecting and Repairing" Office 2003 one
more time, everything is back to normality and Office 2003 is behaving
itself.

Is this a known issue, or one that is peculiar to me? Would there be any way
to get around this problem short of buying a full upgrade to Frontpage 2003?

Thanks

It is a known issue since Front Page "shares" .dlls with Office so when you open the various versions, it needs to install the specific .dll for that version.

Hi,

Thanks for takibng the time to respond to me, Milly. It is much
appreciated.

Is there anyway around this issue, or is it not possible to install these
two products alongside each other?

Thanks.
