Installing FrontPage 2003 on new computer running Vista

[Guest]

I upgraded Office 2000 to Office 2003. Then I purchased FrontPage 2003.
After purchasing a new computer running Vista, I can't install FrontPage as
it is asking for Office 2000 disks. Can anyone help?

Is your FP 2003 disk an upgrade disk?
If so insert the disk you used to install FP 2000.

You need either

1) the full edition of FP because is sounds like you purchased the *upgrade*
which you can only use if you're the licenced user of a previous version of
the same product (i.e. Frontpage 2002 and earlier). Note, MS Office is not
a compliant upgrade product for Frontpage, unless it is an edition of MS
Office that includes Frontpage (most do not).

2) You need to insert the disk for the previous edition of Frontpage you
used. The FP2003 installer program should be prompting for the earlier
version (any previous version) Frontpage disk, not the Office 2000 disks.



The same goes for reinstalling Office 2003 on your Vista machine; if it
prompts for the Office 2000 disks, insert the disk as required from Office
2000 to uprade Office 2003.
