Install Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002
In answering this, please assume I am technically hopeless! I have a new
Outlook 2007 to install on my laptop (with Vista) which has Outlook 2002 at present. Is it Ok just to run it and it will overwrite the existing programme and keep all existing files (emails, address book etc)? I would wish to back up my existing files first but I'm not sure how to. Unless this happens automatically, it is not currently done (which I guess is pretty stupid). I have looked at other messages here and I can't even find the location of the Outlook programme on my C drive as suggested in some. Some simple instructions would be appreciated. |

Install Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002
I don't know how to do that. Anyway, would that not delete all of my existing
emails and addresses? I did say to assume I knew nothing! If it is relevant, my Outlook 2002 is part of Microsoft Office XP Small Business but now being run on Vista. I have just bought the Outlook 2007 upgrade without upgrading the whole Office programme.

Install Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002
It's basic installation options - Control panel, add/remove software... find
office (or outlook if you only have outlook) and run the installer wizard, choosing the uninstall or remove option. Use the custom option to remove just outlook. FWIW, if you can return outlook and exchange it for a suite, I'd highly recommend it. You'll have a better experience.

Install Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002
I have done the backup of the .pst file OK but cannot work out how to
uninstall Outlook 2002. The programme shows as Microsoft Office Small Business but I cannot see how to uninstall the individual components. What happens if I just put the Outlook 2007 CD in the laptop? Would it cause a problem? If so, I need more info re uninstalling Outlook 2002. Sorry!

Sometimes installing a later version will deytect the earlier version (when I installed Outlook 2007 it did), but it's usually best to uninstall the older Outlook first. Do you intend to remove all of Office XP or only replace the Outlook component? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Locate Outlook and change the icon to say "Not available". Finish out the wizard and Outloook 2002 will be removed. You can then install Outlook 2007. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Install Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002
Office XP is not on the listed programmes in Add/Remove, possibly because I
am now using Vista with Office XP? I need to know how to get to the Change option. Thanks. "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Spotlight Kid" wrote in message ...
