Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard

===============
My organization is currently using Office 2000, but we need to deploy
Outlook 2003 to the company. Even though we have licensed copies of
Office 2003, they do not want to deploy other 2003 office apps at this
time.

The problem comes when I try to just Outlook, without uninstalling the
Office 2000 apps (by select the "don't uninstall"option in the wizard),
Outlook will not install.

When I deselect all the other Office 2003 applications only select
Outlook 2003 the script still installs all the other 2003 applications,
except for Outlook.

It doesn't uninstall the old office 2000 apps, which is what I ask it
to do. The problem is that it doesn't install Outlook and it throws all
the other Office 2003 applications on to boot.

Has anyone seen this before?

The online Office Resource Kit (http://office.microsoft.com/ork/) has some great information on "staging" an installation so that Outlook is deployed before full Office or vice versa. Note that you must uninstall Outlook 2000. Maybe that's part of the problem?

I'll check out the website. These systems have Office 2000 suite
installs with everything except Outlook, so there aren't any previous
versions of outlook on the system.
