Upgrade Office 2000 to 2003.

[Roady [MVP]]

You're deploying a volume licensed copy of Office, right? Then you are not
performing an upgrade as the product doesn't even look at previously
installed products to validate the upgrade. Can you get it to work when you
do it manually?

Yes the MST file is been applied, and it is configured to remove all
previous
versions of products, however there is no specific configuration to
totally
remove Office 2000. Since it is an upgrade procedure, Office 2003 assumes
to
install to the old folder.

Any more idea's

Ehm, I believe that is even impossible... Are you sure the mst-file gets
applied? Do you also mark it to remove all previous versions?

I have used the CIW and created an MST file with the install location
pointing to c:\program files\Microsoft Office. Even with this setting,
it
still get's installed to c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Off2000.

Any other idea's

Thanks.

Hi.

We are deploying Office 2003, and currently have Office 2000
deployed.
When
Office 2000 was deployed, it was deployed to C:\Program
Files\Microsoft
Office\off2000. Now when we upgrade, Office 2003 is installed to
the
same
folder. I want Office 2003 installed to c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office.

How can this be done? If we must uninstall office 2000, what is the
best
method. I have tried the Office2Keraser program, however this does
not
work,
as it is only for cleaning up the remnants.

Thanks.

Yes I am using the Volume license product. The process does not require a
previous product for upgrade validation, however when installing Office 2003
it check to see if a previous version exists, and then will upgrade/migrate
accordingly. I have set the MST file to remove all previous versions,
however it does not actually remove all of the office 2000 componenets (tracs
are left), and does not remove the the off2000 folder it was prreviously
installed in. I have read several articles on the process of removing Office
2000, however there is no defined method that fully removes the product.

Not to sure where to go from here.

installed in. I have read several articles on the process of removing Office
2000, however there is no defined method that fully removes the product.

Not to sure where to go from here.

You're deploying a volume licensed copy of Office, right? Then you are not
performing an upgrade as the product doesn't even look at previously
installed products to validate the upgrade. Can you get it to work when you
do it manually?

Yes the MST file is been applied, and it is configured to remove all
previous
versions of products, however there is no specific configuration to
totally
remove Office 2000. Since it is an upgrade procedure, Office 2003 assumes
to
install to the old folder.

Any more idea's

Ehm, I believe that is even impossible... Are you sure the mst-file gets
applied? Do you also mark it to remove all previous versions?

I have used the CIW and created an MST file with the install location
pointing to c:\program files\Microsoft Office. Even with this setting,
it
still get's installed to c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Off2000.

Any other idea's

Thanks.

Use the CIW from the Office Resource Kit

Hi.

We are deploying Office 2003, and currently have Office 2000
deployed.
When
Office 2000 was deployed, it was deployed to C:\Program
Files\Microsoft
Office\off2000. Now when we upgrade, Office 2003 is installed to
the
same
folder. I want Office 2003 installed to c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office.

How can this be done? If we must uninstall office 2000, what is the
best
method. I have tried the Office2Keraser program, however this does
not
work,
as it is only for cleaning up the remnants.

Thanks.

Yes I am using the Volume license product. The process does not require a
previous product for upgrade validation, however when installing Office 2003
it check to see if a previous version exists, and then will upgrade/migrate
accordingly. I have set the MST file to remove all previous versions,
however it does not actually remove all of the office 2000 componenets (tracs
are left), and does not remove the the off2000 folder it was prreviously
installed in. I have read several articles on the process of removing Office
2000, however there is no defined method that fully removes the product.

Not to sure where to go from here.

Office 2000 Series products tended to have
more applications (Photodraw, FrontPage, Small Business Tools)
from multiple CDs than the single CD Office 2003 has.

On installing Office 2003, either manually or from an
Admin Point it only replaces 'like programs' and leaves
the others. It usually will not remove the Office folders
to be sure that it isn't removing user files that someone
may have installed there. You'd need to do some cleanup
through another process if you want to yank out the old
product entirely.

Office 2003 usually puts itself into a subfolder of
a previous MS Office installation, but it doesn't
put itself into the same folder as Office 2000.
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch4/DepB03.htm

The default installation point would be
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11

You can try adding the INSTALLLOCATION=
property in the Settings file (setup.ini)
(you may still get a subfolder)
but what you may want to try is doing a manual
setup from your Admin point using verbose logging
to track to see what is going on.

The MST is basically mimicing the steps you'd
take in a manual install/upgrade so you should
see the same basic results by doing a manual install
and specifying a custom location.

Be sure that you're using the same User/profile/permissions
for the manual test that you used with the MST.
It may be that you don't have permissions needed to
work with all of the folders you're calling out or
the registry.
