Upgrade Office 2000 to 2003

[hobojoe]

Hi everyone,

We are about to start upgrading Office 2000 to 2003 around the office (250 odd users) and would like to perform an upgrade rather than uninstalling 2000 and installing 2003.

As it stands users have Outlook 2003 installed (everyone) and some, but not all, have Access. Idealy I would like to script this but when I ran a custom install (with Outlook 2003) Office 2003 was installed but 2000 still stays.

Is it possible to force it to UPGRADE what is on the PC and ignore what is not? I have a Custom Setup MST which has all the settings that I will be using, if anyone can point me in the right direction, if this is possible or not.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks Mara, however this doesnt work since Outlook 2003 is already installed the Custom Install Wiz instalation just closes and never does anything.

EDIT: an update to this

If I remove Outlook, the installation package works.

If I leave Oulook installed and change the install location it fails.

There are no error messages to give any indication as to what is causing it to fail.

I assume that it sees a copy of 2003 installed and aborts.

I would use the Custom Maint Wiz, but I cant seem to edit the settings like you can in the Install Wiz.

EDIT Again:

Ok, decided to use the Removal Wizard and the Custom Maintwiz
