Re: MS Project 2002

If you have the older version CDs, just install it and then install your upgrade on top of it. The upgrade CD you have will delete the older version in the process so you'll end up just fine. You actually don't need to completely install the older product if you can extract the file winproj.exe from it and put it in the target folder for the new installation - at least that used to work.

I just bought a new WinXP machine and I am trying to install my MS Project 2002 software from the legal and purchased CD I have. It is asking me for the drive where a qualifying product is, because it cannot find it on C. I tried puting older CDs I have from MS on the CD drive, but nothing worked. By researching on the web, it appears that it may be an upgrade version but it does not state so on the CD (it looks like it is a full version).

Could this be a bug associated with WinXP SP2 or other item that does not let me install? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael
