Installing Front Page 2000

[Lori Ann Kuiper]

I previously had Office 2000 Professional installed on my XP Professional
PC. I upgraded to Office XP Professional.

Can I still install Front Page 2000 even though I already ran all SR1 and 2
updates for Office 2000 before updating to Office XP?

 

[Daniel]

yes...you can

Thanks Daniel! Do you know if I have to rerun the SR1 and SR2 & 3 updates
or do I just check the Office update site & follow whatever it says?

Hi Lori Ann,

In an upgrade installation Office should have only
removed the programs it had a match for in the new
edition. Check to see if Office 2000 is still listed
in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

If it is, you may want to do a repair/reinstall. If it
is not then you will need to reapply the Office 2000
updates when you install and yes, you should be able
to use
http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates at that point.

I am sorry to be such a pain, but I am still a little confused. I do have
Office 2000 still listed in Add/Remove programs. When I install Office XP,
I selected the standard install to the same directory that I had previously
installed Office 2000 into (the default). Also, when I look at system
information, I have Office 10 listed there, and also underneath that I have
"Applications", which still lists Office 2000 programs showing the same path
as the Office 10 listing above it. I had assumed this was because the old
Office 2000 templates were kept intact.

When you say to do a repair install, do you mean Office 2000 or Office XP?
If I do a repair of Office 2000, won't this overwrite my XP files since the
directory is the same?

Do you know if Publisher 2002 is installed with Office XP? It seems that I
still have the old 2000 installation of Publisher on my system.

Hi Lori Ann,

Office 10 in System information is Office XP/2002.

From your description I'm assuming you have Office 2000
Premium Edition, as it's the only one that included FrontPage 2000.

Generally, unless you forced Office XP to go into the
same folder as Office 2000 in a custom install, Office XP
would have placed it's programs in a subfolder of the
Office 2000 folder. (If both Office 2000 and Office XP
apps are working they're separated) Check using Windows
Explorer for a \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10
subfolder. This article has information on running
multiple versions of Office.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290576

A repair/reinstall of either version when installed as
above will not overwrite the other version. If the only
app from Office 2000 you want is FrontPage 2000 you may
want to check Office 2000 in Add/Remove Programs and then
set the other apps for that version to 'Not Available'
(not installed) rather than 'run from my computer'.

Publisher 2000 was on CD#2 in Office 2000 Premium Edition
and is listed separately in Add/Remove Programs.
Whether you have MS Publisher 2002 will depend on what
Edition of MS Office XP you have and you may have a
separate CD for it.
