Hi folks... >From all the info I've seen, you cannot install Office 97 on a WinXP system because the SR1 for Office 97 cannot be installed...those attempting this get a error with COM+ (HRESULT=8007043C)...which means although you can install Office 97 in the raw, you cannot apply SR1 or SR2 to get the program up to par. I'm just looking to find out if ANYONE has successfully install/is using Office 97 with SR1 & SR2 on a WinXP System...either Home or Pro versions. Thanks!
