Hi Ray,
Sorry. Have to ask an obvious question. Why would Microsoft want to support
Office 97 on Server 2003?
Seriously, Office 97 is fairly easy to tune, once you know how ;-). And
Server 2003 does have pretty good application compatibility support, much
better then 2000.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Office 97 on Windows 2003, Where did the scripts go?
Because of licensing I need to install Office 97 on a Windows 2003 server in
terminal server role. All the application compatibility scripts are gone in
2003. I copied the script directory over to the 2003 box and ran the
scripts, I went through the script changes line by line and The Office 97
script seems to do everything it needs. I was wondering if anyone has heard
why they removed the scripts and are there an alternative available that I'm
not aware of. I've tried talking to the Microsoft Tech rep assigned to us
for 2003 support but he seems to be clueless about why they are not there
and what you are supposed to do to support the apps that the scripts were
written for.
Thanks
