Based on that information, it would appear that if you have a PC with MS Works installed and you want to install a full Office version, it's neccessary just to remove MSWord before installing OfficeXP or 2003 (or whatever). It's not Works which is conflicting, but the part of MSOffice which comes with it as standard. AFAIK, Works and Word are not integrated - they are separate installations - so it should be possible to remove Word without any problem (and still be able to use Works if required). > -----Original Message----- > From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On > Behalf Of Kathy Jacobs > Sent: 25 June 2004 16:48 > To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [mso] Re: Need help: Parent with Works 7.0 is having problems > installing Excel 2003 > > > According to the Knowledge Base (KB) article I was pointed to, the error > happens in some setup situations on O2000 and O2002 and in all > circumstances > where 2003 is installed after Works or any program that uses the Office > DLLs.
