Vista system won't look at my "95 product so that I can install my
I am tring to install my XP MS Office 2002 Professional. in order to do that I have to install my MS office 97. In order to do that I have to install my MS Office 95. At the third step of the installation process, after I have been queried to input my "CD KEY" it gives me my product ID # and then tells me it is going to load into "MS OFFICE" and then starts to search for previously installed MS OFFICE products. IT just keeps searching,looping, effectively blocking the install. I have bought a new computer because my old one has crashed. I have purchased 3 different Office Suites between 1995 and 2002. I would like to use the software that I have bought and paid for, I have all of my CD keys and the original discs. How do I get past the "searching for installed products" from the '95 suite so that the '97 suite can be loaded so that the 2002 product can be loaded? -- David

You start by loading the Office XP Pro. When it asks for a qualifying product then
you put in your Office 95 or Office 97 install CD as proof. You do not need to load the previous versions. Uninstall all Office products and versions that you have already installed and start anew as per above -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. wrote in message ...

Excellent. I had done it that way in the past and it hadn't worked, but it
did this time-with a little wrinkle of puting my "97 upggrade version in the CD drive because it still didn't want to "see" my "95 version, which in the past was always the disc I had to put in because the others are upgrades that always looked back to the "95 version. -- David " wrote: I am tring to install my XP MS Office 2002 Professional. in order to do that I have to install my MS office 97.

Excellent-Thank you, it worked-sort of. It still wouldn't see the "95 disc so
I used my "97 disc and it accepted it, even though it was an upgrade. -- David "Peter Foldes" wrote: You start by loading the Office XP Pro.
