Ummm,
I wonder if the initial issue is simply that it needs to be open by an Admin
and registered?
We have 2003 and 2007 running on a few TSes just fine with no issues that I've
been made aware of. Though you are right in saying you can't have *Outlook*
2003 and 2007 running together, which may be what you mean.
Not sure I'd recommend it, as we have had confused users, but technically it
works fine.

Of course now that I think about it you get the same error message if you have
any Office 2007 component installed on the TS also. So make sure that you don't
have any of those prior to installing 2003. 2003 and 2007 can not coexist on a
TS unless you do Citrix App isolation or something like App-V.

When you say you followed the correct method did you do it in Change user
/install mode and use the MST transform file to install it for Terminal
services? You will need to open each application in Change user /install mode
at least once and then go back to execute mode prior to publishing the app.

I am having a problem that I cannot find a solution for, but I imagine that
someone else has encountered this. I am helping a client set up a Windows 2008
32-bit Terminal Server. Everything is working fine, except Office 2003 Pro.
The installation ran fine using the correct method for isntalling apps on a
2008 Terminal Server. However, when I try to run any Microsoft Office 2003
application as administrator or remote user, I get an error saying "this
feature is not available." The software comes from a Microsoft Action Pack,
and I do not know if this causes the problem. The same copy of the Office 2003
Pro software installed and runs fine on a Windows 2003 32-bit Terminal Server.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
