[THIN] How to dual install Office XP and previous versions of Office on the same server

Found it...

I had to install ORK.EXE  (The MS Office XP Resource Kit)
I then ran the Office XP Custom Installation Wizard.  ONLY HERE CAN YOU
SPECIFY to NOT UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS.  If you just run the normal
.msi it will never give you the option to not uninstall.

Also make sure you run the XP resource kit and not the 2000 resource
kit...I originally ran the office 2000 resource kit.  It went all the
way through to the end and then popped the error:

"Buffer passed to GetRecordField/GetNextLine is too short.  The MSI File
is corrupt."

This error was because I mistakenly tried the Office 2k installation
wizard instead of the Office XP installation wizard.

Thanks for your help!

Custom install, then choose to keep the old versions around.

This works for all apps in Office except for Outlook, for as long as I
can remember, Outlook is a one-version only piece.  (i.e. Even if you
tell it to keep the old copy, it removes it.)

Hope this helps;
James

I have Access 97, the full Office 2000 suite and I need to install
Excel XP.

On my first run through when I installed Excel XP in a different
directory than Office 2000, the install removed the entire Office 2000
suite.  

Any tips or can't this be done?
