Error 1608 When Installing FrontPage 2003

[MK_DisplayName]

I had to rebuild my computer over the weekend. Previously, I had Office
Student & Teacher 2003 and FrontPaqe 2003 installed without a problem (i.e.,
FP recognized my install of office as a valid prerequisite). For this build I
installed my copy of Office 2007 that I received at a Microsoft hosted event.
Now when I try to install FP2003 I get an error that a valid copy of Office
cannot be found. I try to put in the CD with Office S&T and that fails too.

Any ideas???

Thanks,
MK

Office (of any version that did not include FP) is not a valid prerequisite for a FP Upgrade

Actually, Office can be a valid pre-req for FP. I had a blonde moment last
night and tried using Office 2003 to validate FP (figuring I needed to use
the latest and greatest as a validation). What I used last time, and
ultimately used again last night, was my CD-ROM of Office 97.

Thanks for responding, though.
