Hi, shoe,
1. If your Office 2003 is an upgrade version, I think I'd just
uninstall
Outlook 2003 and install Office 2003, letting it perform the upgrade.
If
you want to uninstall Office 2000 first because you want a cleaner
system
(potentially), or because you have purchased a full version of Office
2003,
you may also want to look at this:
OFF2000: Utility to Completely Remove Remaining Office CD1 Files and
Registry Entries:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;239938
and this
OFF2000: Utility to Completely Remove Remaining Office CD2 Files:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;247674
Note that, either way, you will need your original Office 2000 CDs to
perform the uninstall.
2. I don't think that's necessary, but I suppose you can. What folders
are
you considering cleaning out?
3. If you are presently getting an error about Office Assistants, it's
likely because you have more than one version of Office installed. If
you
completely remove Office 2000, you shouldn't have any trouble with the
Office 2003 assistants. I'd just choose a complete installation, to
install
everything to run from the hard drive. You can also use custom
installation
options, rather than accepting the default, just to be sure of
everything
that's being installed.

I am preparing to install Office 2003.
1. I have Office 2000 installed and running a stand alone version of
Outlook 2003. I would assume that I uninstall Outlook 2003 first.
Next I would uninstall Office 2000 disk 1. Followed by Office 2000
disk 2. So far so good?
2. The temporary installation files for Outlook 2003 will still be
on
the hard drive. Should I delete these files prior to installing the
new Office 2003? Will it be safe to delete those when I run disk
cleanup?
3. When I install Office 2003 which installation process do I use to
make sure that Office Assistants are installed also?
Thanks in advance.
