Loading Publisher 2003 on to Vista Home Premium

[Mark Ward]

I have recently bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium, but my
Publisher 2003 will not load as it states there is no Windows XP or 2000
running. Quite right, but do I really have to buy the 2007 version? As a UK
charity we have bought the Student 2007 office version - is there a student
version of Publisher 2007?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Try installing in safe mode.
Do you get an error other than there is no XP or 2000.

Publisher 2003 should install on Vista.

I have Office 2003 on Vista, but I installed it before I installed Vista. I have
all sorts of legacy applications, all work okay. Maybe that is the key. Install
all your old applications and then Vista.

My system came with Vista, I installed Office 2007, then I installed Pub
2003. It was an afterthought - but it works fine. Normally I would have put
2003 on first. Surprises me that it's okay with the order I did it in.

The only reason I can possibly think of for this is that you're
misreading the error - if it said there is no OFFICE 2000 or XP running,
then I'd suggest you're trying to install an upgrade version (which I
think does exist in the UK, although I'm not entirely sure) and you
don't have a previous version that will let it install.

JoAnn,

I am glad to hear that you could install a 2003 product after office 2007.
I also have an afterthought like you, except I want to install Outlook 2003
after I stalled office Home and Student 2007. I really don't want to
un-install Office 2007 to install the OL 2003, as I afraid it will cause me 1
of the 3 users. Do yu think I can give it a try just installing the 2003 OL
with the Office installed? What happen if it won't work? FYI, I have Vista
Business on my new laptop. What is the correct way to only install 2003 OL ?

Thanks

Since Office HSE 2007 doesn't include Outlook, you should be fine.

JoAnn,

I know very little about computer, and have never done any custom install
before.
Can you give me a brief instruction on installing the 2003 Outlook with the
HSE 2007 intact.

Thanks again.

Since Office HSE 2007 doesn't include Outlook, you should be fine.

I've never installed Outlook with an older version of Office. My
*assumption* would be to insert your CD and follow the instructions. If
Outlook is part of an older suite, you will need to do a custom
installation. Read everything carefully!
