Office 97 to Office 2000 upgrade but keep Access 97, if so how?

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 01:57 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Yes, you can install Office 2000 and you can use a custom install
to remove all of Office 97 except Access97 if you choose not to
upgrade Access as well. You may want to start with the tools
and information in the Office 2000 Resource Kit for more information
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2000

Note that Office 97 uses a different installer/setup program than
Office 2000 and you may run into issues where the installer runs
a lot to 'switch' from Office 97 to Office 2000 being the 'current'
version that is used by the operating system.

Currently we run Office 97 Pro in our organisation but need to upgrade to Office 2000. Unfortunately we have hundreds of Access 97
databases, so my question is:
Can we upgrade from Office 97 to Office 2000, uninstalling all Office 97 components except for Access 97 and installing all Office
2000 components except for Access 2000?

If so how can this be done without firstly removing Office 97 completely, then installing Office 2000 then finally installing Access
97

Many thanks>>

Not exactly. You can use GPO in conjuction with an Office Admin image and
you can update that image (this is no different than the way the Office 2000
and Office XP worked). What you cannot do is use the Local Install Source
feature with GPO as it requires an Admin image not a compressed CD image.
The LIS feature is controlled via SETUP.EXE which is not used by GPO.

The information in the Office Resource Kit at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch5/DepC04.htm should help you
determine how to deploy via GPO.

Legit to install upgrade on new machine?

The origonal software, ie the software you used prior to 2003 is part of yr
licence and as such you have to keep it.
It is not neccessary to install the old software prior to upgrading, as
during the install of yr upgrade 2003 you will get the msg 'cannot find
qualifying product' at this time you insert old cd, and point the 2003
install to it.

install after restore

You, too, will need the original qualifying product. If you had read the
upgrade license, it requires you to retain the QP as a part of the upgrade
license. If you no longer have the QP, the license is invalid.

Hello Danna,

The log file information stated you tried installing Office XP SP-2.
Instead you need to install SP-1 first for Office XP. But, you mentioned
that you have deleted the Office installation files already. At this
point, you may try this. Please note that the method involves editing the
registry; so make sure to back up the registry.

1) Back-up your registry 322755 HOW TO: Backup, Edit, and Restore the

2. Strart registry editor and delete the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Prod ucts\9040820900063D11C8EF0

3. Delete this key and all of its subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0

4. Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Installer\Folde
rs, delete the key with the information: 9040820900063D11C8EF00054038389C

5. Delete the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\{9028
0409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}

6. After a reboot, try to install Office XP; then run office update using
the link: http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate

Please try the suggestions and let me know the status.

Install Error 1311

Posted: 01 Aug 2004 06:15 PM PDT

This failure can be the result of dust on the CD or possibly a damaged CD.
First try cleaning the data side of the CD with a soft cloth. Then see if
you can manually copy that file from the CD to your hard disk. If that
succeeds, then try installing again.
