Print to / Send to 2003 on Vista

[Brian Hoyt]

I think I know the anser to this question but I need to double check. We
are trying to use OneNote 2003 on Vista for compatibility reasons. I
believe the supported method for Send to / Print to OneNote 2003 is what is
installed in the Education Pack. However the Education Pack won't install
on XP. Is there a way to do this on Vista?

Are you sure that you are talking about XP?
I had no problem this on my TabletPC under XP

Is there a way to do this on Vista?

I'm sorry, I don't know and I can not test it as I do not want to spoil
my system.

Sort of. Open the downloaded file and you can install everything except
AvantGo - it simply won't run it's setup on Vista.

And IIRC, there may be one of the other 4 apps which will not install.

Overall, you can get parts of the Education pack installed, but not the
whole thing. I do not know if this will allow you to install the components
you need.

I don't think so. There were a few 3rd party print-to-onenote solutions
for ON2003. The driver for ON2007 is a lot better and is supported by MS.

You mention that you're using ON2003 on Vista for compatibility reasons.
Can you clarify? Because ON is a relatively new product, you and/or your
IT department might be talked into running ON2007 on Vista and not having
to worry about backwards compatibility with a large install base.

I believe the installer for the various Tablet expansion packs do an
explicit check for XP Tablet Edition. They will refuse to install under
normal XP. That may be what Brian is referring to.

Oh I see!
The install even checks for the language of the OS (so I had problems
with installing the pack on my German speaking tablet).
But there are some workarounds.
I seem to remember that it works as John Guinn recommended.

From the OP's question I assumed that it's about compatibility of *ON*
versions used in the company.

The compatibility problem is between ON2003 and ON 2007. We have students
who are still on ON2003 and teachers on ON2007. To allow them to send
things back and forth we had to downgrade the teachers to ON2003. The
teachers have Vista however and the Education Pack won't install on Vista
and as a result you can't install the Send to OneNote tool in it.

Thanks for all the responses.

We have Student owned machines and school owned Faculty machines. The
school owned machines are under an enterprise agreement that include OneNote
and can essentially be upgraded for free. Since the student machines are
outside the agreement (due to not being owned by school) they can't be
upgraded without forcing the parents to pay for the upgrade.

I mistyped XP when I meant Vista. The education pack installer just
immediately bombs on Vista. Are you saying open up the installer and get
the individual installers?

Sorry below where I said XP in last line I meant Vista.
