Can I install Office 2002 and/or Office 2003 on a 64 bit Windows Machine

[Guest Jim]

Hi,

Can anyone help? I just purchased a 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium

machine and I can't install Microsoft Office 2002 or 2003. Is this normal

and is there a workaround? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jim

I don't know of any product called Office 2002, but Office 2003 installs

just fine. I'm running it, lots of others are running it. You'll need to be

more specific about how you're trying to install it and what the error

message is for us to help, but I don't know of any significant issues.

There's one printer-type driver that doesn't work, if I remember correctly,

but certainly nothing major.

Wasn't Office 2002, actually labeled Office XP?

 

That is what I had, I did not bother trying to install in my Vista Ultimate

64 bit though, I found the combination of Windows Live Mail, plus the

calendar built in, and Open Office serve all my needs very well in 64 bit

Vista.
