Installing Office 2007 Enterprise on Vista Home after Evaluation "Oriolus Oriolus"<Oriolus99[ at ]email.com> 5/31/2007 3:03:13 PM Hi, I read several posts dealing with problems to get Office 2007 (Enterprise) installed on an up-to-date Vista PC. I run Vista Home Premium and use(d, it's outdated by today) MSO 12.0.6017. 5000 Evaluation. I have a valid Office 2007 Enterprise (NL) on DVD and I wonder how I should handle the installation. Can someone advise me what the do's and don'ts are in this respect? I expect it to be necessary to uninstall the eval.version. Do I need to back up particular files, settings or folders to be able to go on with the newly installed Office without loosing any data that are connected to my former installation and that are very important for me? I read something about msconfig: [Quoted Text] > Disable the Antivirus during installation.

Is this the raod that I should go when I want to switch over to the Enterprise version, coming from the Evaluation version? I would be very obliged if someone would like to advise and help me through this journey, or send me to sites where I can find a stepwise menu to be followed. TIA, Oriolus
