Install Pub 2000 on Office XP
I already have Office XP without publisher installed on my windows XP
computer. But I now have the need to install Publisher 2000 on it as well. The Office XP version I have is without Publisher, while the Office 2000 has it. When I try to install pub 2000 on my pc, I get the following: 1. Enter in product key. 2. I get an error stating it couldn't find a version of office "Setup failed to locate a valid qualifying product on your machine. Please select the drive where a qualifying product can be found." 3. When I point it to the C:\ drive it then gives me an 1608 error message. "Error 1608. Could not find any previously installed compliant products on the machine for installing this product." Please don't tell me that I need to un-install my office xp in order get publisher 2000 installed. I really don't want to do that. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Install Pub 2000 on Office XP
Put in the first CD and when offered to Install, select Custom Install.
Then select only the Publisher 2000 feature. There may be features for the Images, Spell Checker, etc; select the ones that will assist the use of Publisher. -- Don Vancouver, USA wrote in message ups.com...

Install Pub 2000 on Office XP
Apparently you have an *upgrade* version, not a full version. It's telling
you that it can't find anything to upgrade. I'll bet if you look at the CD, it will even say UPGRADE on it somewhere. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 wrote in message ups.com...

Install Pub 2000 on Office XP
Bingo. It is an Upgrade CD.
I've been digging around and I can't seem to find the Office 97 discs that I had. Any ideas?

None that you'll like. Time to buy a new version of Publisher.

Like your sense of humor but not your resolution.
All I really need to do is open a .pub file that someone sent me and convert it to a .pdf. Any ideas on that one?

Yes, several of us can help you with that. I can't at this moment but if no
one else offers, let me know. Contact me offline and I'll gladly do that for you. (I suspect others will offer to help you before I can access Publisher.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "gradwnomny" wrote in message ups.com...

Send me the file and I will convert it. Do you have an old version of Works? It
is a qualifying upgrade version. Just about any early Microsoft program is a qualifying product for Publisher 2000. mary-sauer at columbus.rr.com -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "gradwnomny" wrote in message ups.com...

Thanks, JoAnn, but I will need to do this every month.
Mary, Interesting idea. I'll have to dig around for an old version of Works. I think it came with my old Gateway in 95 or 96. I'll get back to you after lunch with the in-laws. yea.

I knew you'd be the one to offer. :-)
(Mary often offers to do this for posters but I didn't want to mention her by name and then find out she was offline or up to her ears with something else and feel put on the spot.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
