Vista - Installing Office 2003

I got office 2003 on my xp-side partition but cant' run it on vista(gets an
error saying operating system blah blah not ready blah) so I will need to
install it... Does installing it take another "install mark" off my office
2003? It would suck if it does as it is on the same computer(I'm using
teacher and students edition, which can be installed 3 times)

I don't have an answer for you situation. However, if you testing the Vista
Beta OS, why not put on the Office 2007 beta?

Give us the exact error wording and number you get so we can show you what
to do. I don't need a lot of errors for Windows in detail, but with Office
it matters more.

I don't think it will count as another install mark because it doesn't look
at the OS to see if you're installing to a different machine. It looks at
the hardware. I've installed that version of Office 2003 on the same machine
about a gazillion times with all kinds of different configs.

Hi. I have downloaded and installed Vista. When trying to install Office 2003
I get error. It does not find my D drive i don`t think. It won`t accept
autorun either.

Pete,

Have you tried running the Office 2003 installer with Admin rights?

That worked for me.
