Can't reinstall word 2002 after removing Office 2007 beta
I have been using a copy of Office 2007 beta 2 until it expired. I need
little of it's functionality on my ome computer, so I uninstaled it an went to reinstall my original works suite 2005, which contains word 2002. All of the rest of the applications, including the word addins install and work properly, but word 2002 does not. On looking at the folder, there is no winword.exe file etc. I can get these to install by going into the folder and running word setup. On entering it has the word marked as unavailable. this can be changed and added in, but it remains non functioning, saying it is unregistered and not available to the current user. I have now installed and uninstalled this several times, having tried the windows installer removal tool and using regedit to remove all of the vestiges of office 2007 I can find. I think that there is something on my system which is clearly making the installer think that I have a higher version of word installed, so all of the addins etc install, but the programme does not, as it isseen as a backward upgrade. Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this- it's driving me nuts! -- Thanks for reading and for any help that you are able to offer. Iain |

Can't reinstall word 2002 after removing Office 2007 beta
Did you look at what all features/functions you are installing or are you
just putting in the disk and hitting OK? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Iain Wilson" wrote in message ...

Can't reinstall word 2002 after removing Office 2007 beta
Hi JoAnn,
I was installing via the custom install route, only adding works and word as I don't need anything else (I don't really want the works part, but have no option with works suite. I haven't tried the old install all route. -- Thanks for reading and for any help that you are able to offer.

Have you tried doing a search for winword.exe anywhere on your computer?

Can't reinstall word 2002 after removing Office 2007 beta
hi again JoAnn,
Search reveled no winword.exe file. I've also tried reinstalling using the typical full install option, again to no avail. -- Thanks for reading and for any help that you are able to offer.

Sorted this by exploring the disc and using the word 2002 install from it's
directory instead of trying to install as part of works suite. -- Thanks for reading and for any help that you are able to offer.
