Re: pp 2000 with office 2003

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Did that with no luck, when one double-click on pp.exe win says it doesn't
know what program created it!

Do as Steve suggested and install PPT to a separate folder using the Custom
Install option. Then open an Office 2003 application and run Help|Detect and
Repair.

However, if you double-click powerpnt.exe, does PPT run? If so, just
recreate the shortcut.

installed pp 2000 from office 2000 premium.
(msiexec.exe encountered a problem) but pp worked.
tried word 2003, had error message, but worked, then pp did not work and
the
icon was gone. search shows .exe in preface folder!

Well, I like to run a Detect and Repair of Office 2003 if I install
anything
from 2000 after installing 2003. Did it just this morning, in fact.

Usually it's recommended you install oldest to newest, but usually
running
Detect and Repair in 2003 eliminates the need to uninstall it, install
2000,
then reinstall 2003.

So what exactly do you mean by "ppt 2000 seems uninstalled"? What happens
when you try to start PPT after running the Detect and Repair in 2003?
Did
PPT start before you ran Detect and Repair?

What if you do a search on your harddrive for powerpnt.exe? Do you find
it?

Is your PPT 2000 installation a full standalone version, or is it an
upgrade
version?

Office 2003 basic came installed on Dell XPS 400
After getting PP 2000 installed Office 2003 wanted to be repaired.
After repair - Office 2003 works but Powerpoint 2000 seems uninstalled?
