Can U install Office Enterprise 2007 when U have 2003 Professional

[E Seoane]

I keep getting an error msg. when trying to install Office Enterprise 2007.
The msg. say's: ..., the computer must run at least Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 2 (SP2). I do not have Microsoft Windows XP installed on my
stand alone computer; I have Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003. I
even tried to download the Office Professional plus 2007 free 60 day trial
and when trying to install it, I got the same error msg.

So what windows operating system are you using?
If you have Windows XP have you run winupdate?

Hi E.,

The message is referring to your version of Windows and its Service Pack updates (http://update.microsoft.com) rather than a prior
Windows version.
Windows XP updated to at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) is the oldest version of Windows that can be used with Office 2007.

Thanks Bob,

I do not beleive I have Windows XP and do not know how to determine if I
have it. I downloaded all of the updates for Office 2003, do I need to
download something for just windows? What if I do not have Windows XP can I
install Office 2007 using the current version of windows that I have? I am
not very computer savy.

The Microsoft Windows XP that the error message is pointing to is your
Operating system that "runs" all of the production software such as Office.

On your desktop right click My Computer then left click on properties. If
it does not say in the box that opens:

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition (or Pro Edition)
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

or if it doesn't say Microsoft Vista instead of Microsoft Windows XP, you
can not install or run Office 2007.

If it says Service Pack 1 with XP above it you need to update your computer
by using Windows Update (Click Start, Windows Update and run at least the
Recommended updates.

Office 2003 professional that you have installed will run on earlier
versions of Windows such as Windows XP SP 1 or even Windows 2000.

Hi this is the same thing that is happening to me when I want to download
Office Enterprise. I have Microsoft Windows XP and the program worked for a
couple of days and then it just stopped working and I can't figure out why or
why I can't redownload
