Upgrade from Office 2003 Pro to Office 2007 Std

[ruxpin]

Hi, Can someone help me figure out how best to perform this upgrade and fully
remove the previous install of office 2003 Pro. I have created an MSP and
ensured that the default behaviour is selected for removing previously
installed applications.

However, the extra applications included with office 2003 pro are not in the
list so when I run the installer it upgrades outlook, excel, word and
powerpoint but leaves Access, Publisher and Infopath.

Thanks,
Neil

Uninstall all of the Office2003 and it's components and then start the Office 2007 install. When it asks for a qualifying product insert the Office 2003 Pro full version as proof for upgrade

My plan is to deploy this across a large number of computers. I'm not
concerned about proof of upgrade since we're using MVLS editions. I'm really
after the best way to kick off a full removal of the older product. I'm
currently thinking about launching the full uninstall from the MSP, but if
there's a way to get the office 2007 installer to handle it directly that
would be much better.

Thanks,
Neil
