>Hello,
>
>Thank you for your prompt response, and I apologize for my delayed
response
>due to the weekend. I also apologize that I did not fully understand your
>original concerns and provide a more thorough answer. I have performed
>further research to more thoroughly answer your question.
>
>When Office 2000 or Office XP is upgraded to Office System 2003, the
>graphic file extensions associated with Microsoft Photo Editor are removed
>even if the extensions have been re-associated with a different graphics
>file handler. Although Office 2003 installs the Microsoft Office Picture
>Manager, it does not automatically associate the graphics file extensions
>during the installation.
>Picture Manager offers the user a choice during the first run by the user.
>
>Unfortunately, this is by design. It is a limitation in Windows installer
>because it does not know the file association to keep it if it is
>associated to something else.
>
>There are several options to manage this scenario. Please choose the
>option that best applies to your needs.
>
>Option 1:
>You can re-install Photo Editor on all the systems. This is essentially
>rolling out an office installation through current methods and only
>installing the Photo Editor component. To re-install Photo Editor please
>follow the instructions in this link:
>http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817095
>
>Option 2:
>You can include the necessary registry settings in your MST by adding the
>keys in CIW to associate the graphics files with the appropriate
>applications. I have generated a sample script for you below. You should
>generate your own script following these steps:
>
>1. On a system that is configured with appropriate file associations,
>export the following registry keys to file:
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx
t
>s\.bmp
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx
t
>s\.gif
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx
t
>s\.jpe
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx
t
>s\.jpeg
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx
t
>s\.jpg
> * you can of course add the keys for any other image files you want to
>associate as well
> ** to export the keys, open regedit, browse to the key, right click and
>choose export
>
>
>2. Copy the resultant .reg file information into one .reg file, including
>the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" line only once at the top.
>
>3. In CIW, on screen 12 of 24, Import the .reg file created in step #2.
