Default MS Office 2003 install to new computer w/ Windows Vista

I have just purchased a new computer and would like to install MS Office 2003
Small Business Edition on it. Is there anything I need to do prior to the
install to ensure it will work? I know they are compatable, but have heard
that some times errors occur, like a compatablity download?

Thanks. KS

One more thing - the new computer was Windows Vista and the old was XP.

Office 2003 is fully compatible with Vista
The compatibility download is to enable 2003 to read docs created in Office
2007 format, so has no bearing.
You have to first ensure any trial version of Office 2007 & associated
Activation wizard, is uninstalled, then reboot prior to installing from cd
your version
