Honestly, didn't find out the exact reason, but just google Vista and Office 97. You'll find lots of postings with various error messages.

(Resending...) Hi Drew Why was it that A97 wouldn't install? /gustav >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 21-04-2008 17:30 >>> My new laptop came with Vista. Looked nice. Ran fine. Tried to install Office 97 (I currently run 97 and 2003 on all of my development systems). Wouldn't install. Yes, I could use VPC to run 97 when I need it, but I prefer my OS to be able to run the software I CURRENTLY use natively. So after that error installing Office 97 (and a quick google search verifying that Office 97 wouldn't install on Vista) and my laptop had XP on it faster then you could say 'Microsoft screwed the pooch with Vista'. ;) Drew -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com The information contained in this transmission is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain II-VI Proprietary and/or II-VI Business Sensitive material.
