Another computer question - Multiple Office Products issue
« on: February 01, 2007, 04:38:09 PM »

As part of my severance from my last job, I got the laptop I was using. I was just looking though the Add/Remove Programs and noticed it looks like I have 3 versions of Microsoft Office.

Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 disc 2           578.00 mb
Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003    466.00  mb
Microsoft Office XP Pro                         46.22 mb
Microsoft Office XP Pro Media Content     688.00 mb

Do I need all these? If I uninstall Office 2000 and Standard Edition but keep the 2 XP, is that okay? Can I do that?

MS Office 2003 and MS Office XP are the same versions. I appears that the standard version of Office was initially installed and then whatever features that are in the Pro version but not in the standard version was installed the 2nd time. Note that it's only 46.22 MB.

I have no idea WTF "media content" is.

Office 2000 Disc 2 might have software that no longer comes with Office 2003/XP, so I wouldn't remove that one either until you find out.

What you should do is click the "Change" button instead of "Remove". The Setup program will tell you what options were selected when initially installed. Make a note of it for each one of these installations, then decide what you want and don't want to remove.
