My computer recently crashed and have reinstalled the programs I had

successfully but because my computer now does not have the original version

of Office '97, my copy of Upgrade Office XP won't reinstall. Any suggestions?
 
You will not be able to install an upgrade version of Office XP unless

you find your old Office 97 CD required for verification.

I just upgraded of Office XP on a test machine before I posted the only

thing I have on this test machine is Win XP Professional with SP3, and

Microsoft Excel 6. The setup is cloned so that after every test it can

reinstated to its original state for another test.



So I know what I am taking about.



Does this help.

Excel was NEVER part of Works as Works has it's own spreadsheet and is not a

qualifier. So obviously you don't know what you are preaching. Are you

absolutely sure that when you "upgraded" that all of the Office products

installed and not just the latest Excel program? Excel as a standalone

program actually is a qualifier for Excel upgrade if you look down further

in the URL I posted.

Not possible. Qualifying product for using an Upgrade version of Office XP are the

following only and Works is not a qualifying product in this case. So I have no idea

what you used to Upgrade as you wrote in your post



Office 97 Professional

Office 97 Standard

Office 97 Small Business Edition

Office 2000 Standard

Office 2000 Small Business

Office 2000 Professional

Office 2000 Premium

Office 2000 Developer

Peter, no use trying to talk to him. He has his mind made up and is correct

about EVERYTHING and belittles anyone trying to correct him. He changes his

posted name every so often to keep people from kill filing him. I guess

that I will be the next one on his list but really don't care. Once in a

while he does actually give good information but he is a professed pirate,

likes to tell people to go to crack sites to download "free" software, etc.
