OCT upgrade from 97 to 2007

[alexoc99]

Hi,

I am currently trying to configure the Office Customization Tool to upgrade our users from Office 97 with Outlook 2000 to Office 2007.

I have created the MSP file in OCT but when I try to run it on the client machines I receive the following error:

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your cmoputer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.

I have checked the options for removing previous versions of Office and tried both leaving them there and upgrading.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

is that upgrade even possible?

surley thats like trying to go from 98 to vista in a single jump.

can you do it incrementally? like 97-2003 then 2007? or would it be too much of a pain to do it that way?

p.s i wonder what the legalaties would be in using a copy of 2003 thats not legal only for the purpose of being a "steppingstone" to 2007?

What do you think?

No it´s not legal...

Cheers for the replies.

Had a feeling it was due to the antique version of Office we currently run!
