Can I copy Office 2000 to my new HDD with XP home?
I made a copy of my system drive that has W2K OS and Office 2000 loaded and running fine. I copied this partition with Ghost 9.0 to a slave HDD and moved that slave to another machine running XP. I wish to run the copy of Office on the XP machine. But, when I find the Word.exe and try to start it, the message back says: This application must be installed tpo run. Please run Setup from the location where you previously installed the application.
Ideas welcommed! Thanks.

No, it can't be done that way, you need to install Office 2000 on your XP system.
That applies to about every other big program as well. The only programs I've seen that don't require installation, that run when you double click its exe file, are small programs. RJ

OK. I give in! I thought it was worth a try while I learned some Ghost functions.
Appreciate the help and I really do not care why it will not work! It would get way over my head! Good evening. |
