Office 2010 and Office 2007 on Same Machine
I have a machine that we are attempting to run both 2007 and the 2010 beta on
at the same time. Whenever we switch between 2007 and 2010 we get the configuring office box for that platform. For example we run word 2010 and get the configuration prompt then we are able to go into all of the 2010 apps with no issue, when we then switch to word 2007 we get the office 2007 configuration and can get into all of the 2007 apps with no problem, this happens every time we switch versions. Is there something I did wrong on the install or is this an issue that will keep happening? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance! |

What you did wrong was to install Office 2010 Beta on a production machine that was running Office 2007. Never install a Beta on a production machine -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

In addition to Peter's excellent advice there is a registry switch that can be activated to eliminate the configuration. It is not foolproof but I have been using it on Office 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and now 2010 beta without any issues popping up yet. Read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091/ and scroll down to the Word section. Substitute Office 10 for Office 2002, Office 11 for Office 2003, Office 12 for 2007 and Office 14 for 2010 in the instructions. You would have to do it for both versions of Office you have installed. I have one laptop running XP Pro that has every version of Word on it from Word 2.0 onward (except 95) and they all run fine. |
