Installing Office on Win.Vista

[Zygy]

I want to install my Office 2003 on my new PC with Win.Vista Business. Is it
OK to install the Office from the original CD with the Product Key (I have
Microsoft permission to reinstall it) and then to install the SP1 Update,
which I have on my own CD or is there another way I should treat SP1
e.g.download from Microsoft with all the other Office updates?

I don't see where it would make a difference which way you did it. I would
probably load the software and then do all of the Microsoft updates from the
website but that's just me.

Install SP2 instead of SP1.

Thank you for the reply, but has Office 2003 an SP2? If you refer to the
Win.XP SP2 that would not be acceptable of Win. Vista - would it?
Install SP2 instead of SP1.

Thank you for the reply. I was just wandering whether installation of
Office's SP1 would have the same problems as re-installing Win.XP software
without SP2.

I don't see where it would make a difference which way you did it. I would
probably load the software and then do all of the Microsoft updates from
the website but that's just me.

Win XP SP2 was a big patch and affected a lot. You're dealing with Vista -
different critter.
