Does Xcelsius 2008 really support office xp/2003

Question

Hi,
I checked the installation guide for xcelsius 2008, it shows that it support office xp/2003 and 2007.
But when i tried to install on office xp it just aborted with office incompatible error.
So Does Xcelsius 2008 really support office xp/2003?
If yes then why it throws me incompatible error message, do i need to make any change?
Thanks,
Nimesh.

Answer 1

Hi,
I found solution for this.
Below are the steps:
1.     Go to Start > Run. Start the registry editor by entering 'regedit'.
2.     Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to \Software\Microsoft\Office\
     a.     Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
     b.     Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
     c.     Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called InstallRoot
     d.     You should now have the folder structure listed below:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
     e.     From the InstallRoot folder create a string value called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value
     f.     Select the newly created Path value and select Edit > Modify.
     g.     Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
     h.     Click OK.
Thanks,
