i have office 2000 and got a new vista machine

i want to install office 2007 upgrade (which i qualify for) on the vista machine

will i have to install office 2000 first? or how does it verify upgrade eligibility?

i would really rather not have to mess up the machine by installing office 2000 . . .
 
I just did an install of 2007 and forgot to tell it to uninstall the previous version.

I still have my Word/Excel, but outlook is gone.

You can run them both which I am doing stupidly.
 
i don't want to run both, i just want to install 2007

currently there are NO copies of office on the vista machine
 
You should be able to just install it .. worst case, it will ask for the old
Office CD to be inserted just so it can verify that in fact, you did have it
at one time or currently. Should not be a problem.
 
i hope you're right
i just remember that the upgrade version of Vista will NOT install on a clean system
you have to actually install a previous version of windows FIRST and THEN install the Vista upgrade
 
I believe you would not need to install Office 2000 but you would need the Office 2000 CD and you would need to insert it in the CD drive so that the Office 2007 can verify your eligibility for the upgrade. I may be wrong but that's what I think. I'd at least try that first. You'll know if it doesn't work.
