Installing MS Office
I have MS office 2003 installed on my Drive C. I would like to have it
installed on drive E with MS Office being the only thing on that drive. The installation doesn't appear to give me the option of which drive to install it. Am I doing something wrong? |

When you re-install you will have the option to install where you want if you choose custom installation. When the default installation path is displayed, just place you cursor at the start of the path, delete C and insert E. Note: even when you install Office 2003 on your E: drive, some files will by default be installed on your C: drive. Don |

Trying going to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Is this where you removed the pre-installed version of Office? To remove Office you cannot just delete files using Windows Explorer or just delete the shortcuts to the Office applications. I am not sure what you mean by: " But when clicked on it says has to be installed." If you mean a shortcut to a Office applications for the pre-installed version, your should not have any if you uninstalled correct as per above. Look at the list of installed applications in Add/Remove Programs. If the pre-installed version was not Office 2003, you should have two entries {the pre-installed version and Office 2003}. If both were Office 2003 editions, I am not sure how many entries you find. If you find only one entry for the Office 2003 S & T, select it. Then click on Change. You should get a message box with one select to repair the original installation. Try that. Worse case. Uninstall Office 2003 S & T. Reinstall the pre-installed version to the same location {that is drive}. You should halved received CD with your computer to do so. Then uninstall from Add/Remove Programs. Then re-install your Office 2003 S & T. Doing the above will not effect any documents you have created but you will lose your settings. Note this is the worse case approach. You may get better help if you post to microsoft.public.office.misc. If you do so, please be more specific about what you did and what is happening. Don |
