Duplicates after upgrade from 2K to XP

J

Jerry

I had originally install Office 2000 Pro and all service packs. It installed
in \Program Files\Office.

I then installed the Office XP Pro upgrade. It installed into \Program
Files\Office10.

During the upgrade to Office XP I remember being asked a question similar to
"Did I want to remove the duplicates of the previous version? (Or something
similar.) I clicked OK.

Recently, when just checking things in Explorer I noticed that there were
similarly named files in the \office and \office10 folders, including
MSACCESS.EXE. Knowing I had done an upgrade I wonder why there are
duplicates between the two folders and if there is some reason why I could
not delete all the older stuff in the \office folder.

I did expect the Office 2000 Publisher to remain after the upgrade but not
the other files.

Anyone have an explanation?

Jerry
