Office 2007 Beta 2 and Project 2000

After installing 2007, Project 2000 crashes after start. Why that are they
not compatible somehow?

Microsoft doesn't support side-by-side install of Office 2007 and Office
2000 as Office 2000 is no longer supported/maintained by Microsoft.
Hence you install this on your own risk without any guarantee that it
will work.
Office 2007 is also beta software, which you should never install on a
production machine.
Does the problem disappear if you uninstall Office 2007?

Hi Cello,

While, as Patrick mentioned, MS doesn't recommend multiple versions of the MS Office Product Suites being installed together, MS
Office Project 2000 is an Office family product that shares some of the program files with the newer versions, but is not part of
the retail product suite packages.

The installation of Office 2007 beta should not break Project 2000, but it is probably not a formally tested scenario and it is
possible that a specific version of a needed, but shared file, is being replaced. Do you get an error message from MS Project 2000?
If so, what is the exact message and does it have a problem at startup or only with certain actions or specific files?
