Thanks for the responses. I tried installing Office 2003 Pro from
another installation source, and it worked fine. The problem seems to
be related to the version that comes with the MS Action Pack.

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.
