In regards to this, I am trying to install office 2000 onto my xp, which

currently has the 2007 office trial.

I get an error message about installation files. Is there anyting I can do

about this, maybe a download with a newer(or older?) installation files?

Thanks

Uninstall Office 2007 trial along with any activation assistant and reboot

the computer prior to attempting the 2000 install. If any further issues

repost with exact error messages.
