Installing old Office software

If I don't want to upgrade to the new version of Office, can I just transfer the old software from an existing desktop version of Office?  Since there is no disc drive I tried to copy the CD's to a bus drive and then install to the 505, but it stop loading about half way. 

Hi, i was able to install Office 2003. If you have access to another computer with an optical drive (CD/DVD), put in the office CD and copy all the files onto a flash drive. For Excel+PowerPoint+Word, the total space req'd might be around 250MB. Make sure you copy all the 'Hidden files' as well. This should happen automatically if you copy the whole folder... Plug your flash drive into the netbook and run the setup.exe (or whatever name it is) file. That will do it. You'll need the product key, of course. This is how I did it for my NB505 netbook and it works perfectly. ... I see you mentioned getting it done by Best Buy, in another posting. Hope that worked fine. Best, NN

  • How do I remove the pre-installed Microsoft Office software from my T61 running XP-Pro?

    I've reviewed the Lenovo support item on uninstall instructions but it does not say how to get the software off of my hard drive.  Here's the Lenovo item.
    To properly uninstall Microsoft Office 2007 Trial from the Lenovo preload, the following applications must be removed.
    2007 Microsoft Office System
    Activation Assistant for the 2007 Microsoft Office Suites
    Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007
    Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
    Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
    Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
    MS SQL Server 2005
    MS SQL Server Native Client
    MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
    MS SQL Server VSS Writer
    Uninstalling the Microsoft Office 2007 Office System will not remove all the components.
    Uninstalling Business Contact Manager for Outlook will also uninstall MS SQL Server Components. During the uninstall routine, it will ask to delete the mail data file that contains the Business Contact Manager. Clicking OK, will remove the BCM, but not the SQL server apps, as the uninstall states.
    From this point uninstall:
    Activation Assistant,
    MS Office 2003 Web Components
    MS Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies,
    MS Office Small Business Connectivity Components.
    Then remove the MS SQL Server Components of server native client, server setup support files, and VSS writer.
    Then remove the Activation Assistant shortcut from the desktop.
    The first 3 apps listed are not installed because I have not run the activation assistant for the Office trial that came with the T61.  Add/Remove programs has only these pre-installed apps:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
    Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
    Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
    MS SQL Server 2005
    MS SQL Server Native Client
    MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
    MS SQL Server VSS Writer
    Is the activation assistant one of them?  I want to inactivate it because it is occasionally triggered somehow.  Besides unintalling those preinstalled apps, I want to take all of the Office components off of my hard disk.  
    Add/Remove also has these apps but I'm thinking they are not part of Office -- please correct me if I'm wrong
    Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
    Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366)
    Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1
    Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard 1.52
    FYI, I am using Lotus Suite and OpenOffice.
    How do I tidy this up without creating more trouble?  Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    No, AFAIK should be listed as Microsoft Office Suite Activation Assistant

  • How to un-install old CS3 software...

    Just bought an iMac 20" / 2.33 core 2 duo running OSX 10.5.6 - it came with adobe CS3 creative suite (working fine ) Then when I migrated my old G5 1.8 g running OSX 10.4.11 everything went well - except now the CS3 apps are asking for a serial # - I called the seller he said it's not available - since I'm a student I'll just purchase it new with educ. discount - however, will I need to 'un-install' the original/no longer working version of CS3 before I install the new CS4 and if so - how do I do this??
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Can I install old G5 software onto my Mac Pro

    Hi all,
    I have a Mac 8 Core Pro running Snow Leopard and Logic Pro 9.
    I have slowly but surely been moving the software from my dual core G5 (OS X Tiger) to the Mac Pro.
    I have a few software programs that I need advice on whether I can install them on the new Mac Pro.
    Absynth 4 - Has Universal Binary but is for OSX 10.4
    Trilogy Bass - Early Copy for OS9
    DFH Superior - Early copy for Mac OS 10.2
    Can the above be installed to my new Mac Pro or should I just forget it and not bother??
    Thanks in advance

    Absynth 4 runs OK with the latest versions from NI (download the updaters using Service Center)
    Trilogy.... Forget it... can run using a Wrapper, but it's really bad. (Does work though! Downloads from Spectrasonics. Much better to get the new Trilian instead.
    Superior... latest versions run OK (DL from Toontrack)

  • Try to install new itunes software on my Windows XP system. Stop installing because cannot deinstall old version of bonjour.msi. What to do?

    Try to install new itunes software on my Windows XP system. Stop installing with the message cannot deinstall old version of Bonjour.msi. What to do? Cleaned already registry.
    KR,

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

    I have a MacBook Pro 2011.  I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.  No progression bar ever appeared.  It just sits and spins.  I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
    I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery.  From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it.  What do I do???? Help!  I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

    I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing  Mountain Lion.
    Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
    Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

  • Installing old software on a new computer

  • What am I doing wrong? Can't install iTunes due to old iPod software

    Hi - iTunes will not install - error message says it can't upgrade old iPod software and it should be uninstalled. I had an old 2ndGen iPod and I have removed everything to do with that (Musicmatch, quicktime, iPod manager (although teh latter proved difficult as it wouldn't delete from Program Files - got rid of it and then when I reinstalled everything in order to uninstall again to see if that would fix, it now wont delete at all) etc.) and have been through all the windows installer clean-ups and everything else on the support page.
    Has anyone else encountered this - would really appreciate help as doing my head in! Its so I can use new Nano.
    Thx.

  • I have installed Microsoft Office, do I now need anti virus software

    I have installed Microsoft Office on my Macbook Air, do I now need to install a suitable anti virus software?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course not. It's still safe to use your Mac without an antivirus. OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. If you want more information about Mac OS X and viruses, see > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    If you want an antivirus, download ClamXav or Sophos, but you don't need them. I only recommend them if you have files you will transfer to a PC

  • Does installing lion have an effect microsoft office software installed?

    Im thinking of installing lion onto my macbook pro.
    WIll it have an effect on the microsoft office software that i have installed?
    Regards
    Angelo

    Depends on what version of Office you have installed.
    2004 won't work at all.
    2008 and 2011 will work fine.
    Some people have a PowerPC based installer for 2008. If that is your case, then you can install Lion and everything will continue to work, but if you have to reinstall office for some reason, it won't work.

    Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(
