Office Project Standard 2007

[novice24]

I am considering purchasing Office Project Standard 2007 but am unclear if it
is compatible with Windows Vista (which I have!). Please advise.

If Project Standard 2007 is not compatible, please advise alternative.
Regards.

I have been using this version on Vista for a long time. There are no
issues with Vista.

You should actually be asking this question of your supplier as it is
they who will incur the liability if it doesn't work with your platform.

It is also wise to ask for other people's experiences as well but my
point is to ensure that the supplier meets their responsibilities.

Actually there is an issue. I own a full copy of Project Standard 2003 so
bought an upgrade to the 2007 version. I use Windows Vista SP2.

I cannot install Project Standard 2007 because it cannot find proof that I
have Office installed on my machine. Yet I have a full copy of Office 2007
Standard and use it every day. I have tried pointing the installation to my
Office directory without success.

I can't get help from MS Support without paying $99 for the incident. So now
I'm stuck with a copy of Project Standard 2007 that I can't use.

I have found one possible solution: to download a trial of Project Standard
2007 and use my license key. I'm trying that right now but the download is
taking forever. And I wonder if I'll ever be able to use the CD that I
purchased.

Try something else. Since you have the original CD for Project 2003
(correct?), then uninstall it and reboot. Then install Project 2007 from
the CD. I *think* based on previous experience with Microsoft software
upgrades over the year, that the Project 2007 install programm will
request that you give evidence of a qualifying product and it will allow
you to put that product in the CD tray and the install program will look
there. I even suspect you'll be able to tell the install program to
specifically look at the tray. And since there should be a qualifying
product there, it should work.
