Is there a problem with office 2000, 2002, and 2003 installed in the same directory

[Guest]

I'm getting an error which reads "There are no office assistant files present on the system. Please run setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character". The three office versions all have the office assistant installed and I made sure the character files are present. The problem started after outlook 2003 was installed. I've tried a repair and a reinstall and I still get the error messages.

If you installed 3 versions of Office into the same directory you are
allmost certain to have problems.
The general MS rule is to install earlier version first then later version
into a seperate folder.
I have read posts of problems with two versions one of which being 2003
Is there a particular reason for the three versions being installed?

Greetings --

I'd be very surprised if you _didn't_ have problems with 3
versions of Office over-writing one another's files. They need to be
installed to separate folders, at the very least, and I'd recommend
separate partitions.
