Re: Multiple versions of Office

Hello Greg

Here are a list of KB articles that are most relevant to our topic:
¡°Multiple versions of Office¡±.

Office automation when multiple versions of Office are installed

How to run multiple versions of Office on one computer

We do not recommend installing multiple versions of Office in one computer,
though it can be done by installing the earliest version first. Uninstalling
12, installing 11, then installing 12 again can be a resolution. If you do
not like it, we may consider installing Office 11 PIA and developing the
application in the current computer, and testing it in another computer with
Office 2003.

Office 2003 (11) PIA can be downloaded at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3C9A983A-AC14-4125-8BA0-D36D67E0F4AD&displaylang=en
Regarding how to use Office 2003 PIA, please refer to the MSDN article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa159923(office.11).aspx

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

What type of Office application do you do? COM automation or VSTO? IN
either case, I think, installing multiple Office versions would make
things complicated and messy. The general rule of thumb of developing app
targeting multiple version of Office apps is to work against oldest
targeting version. For VSTO project, you cannot have multiple Office
versions installed, you can only have either Office2003 (must be Pro
Edition or individual app, such as Word/Excel/Outlook, not only for
developing, also for users) or Office2007 installed, but not both.

I'm developing an application on my system that needs to support Office
11.

My development machine has Office 12 and Visual Studio 2008.

Obviously, the Office 11 API is unavailable.

How can I get it? Can I download just the files needed to compile my
project? Or do I need to install Office 11?

Or even worse.. uninstall 12, install 11, then install 12 again.


Thanks,
Greg
