Installing both 2003 and 2007 on Vista 64bit AndyC812 10/29/2008 4:10:01 PM I am going to purchase a new system with Vista 64bit. I would like to run BOTH Office 2003 Pro (which I already own) and Office 2007 on this system (since I develop in 2003, but need to make sure it runs in 2007). Is this possible? Is there anything special I would need to do? -- Thanks, Andy

Re: Installing both 2003 and 2007 on Vista 64bit "DL" <address[ at ]invalid> 10/29/2008 4:19:10 PM You first ensure any trial version is uninstalled, and possibly also any 'free' junk the supplier has installed. Ensure Vista is updated Install 2003 & update it Possibly rename any Office shortcuts, ie Word > Word03 Install 2007 Both versions install to version specific folders by default. You can only have a single version of Outlook, I'd reccomend OL2007 over OL2003 version.

RE: Installing both 2003 and 2007 on Vista 64bit John W. 10/30/2008 5:31:01 PM It's possible and easy. Install office 2003 first obviously, update it and what not. Then when you install Office 2007 just choose custom and Keep all previous versions and you're set. (I wouldn't recommend keeping Outlook 2003 though).
