SUMMARY
''When you install Microsoft Office 2003 Professional on a computer that is running an earlier version of Microsoft Office with FrontPage already installed, the Office 2003 Setup program does not remove the earlier version of Microsoft Office FrontPage.

This article describes how to work around this behavior by using the Custom Installation Wizard to modify the Microsoft Transform (MST) file. The MST file is used by the Office 2003 Setup program. The Custom Installation Wizard is one of the tools that is available in the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit Toolkit.''



SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office 2003 Professional on a computer that is running an earlier version of Microsoft Office with FrontPage, FrontPage is not removed when the installation is finished.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Microsoft Office System does not include FrontPage 2003 as one of the programs to be installed.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, you must use the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW) in the Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit to modify the Office 2003 setup process. If you do not have the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit (Ork.exe), download the resource kit from the Microsoft Download Center. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Download the ork.exe package now.

To modify the Microsoft Transform (MST) file that is provided with the Office 2003 installation files to introduce parameters that remove FrontPage from your computer, use the CIW.

Note The Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit tools have been primarily designed to serve the deployment scenarios that are found in organizations that use volume licensing programs. Therefore, you cannot use Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit tools, such as the Custom Installation Wizard, with a retail edition of Microsoft Office 2003. Additionally, you cannot run the Setup program in administrative mode to create an administrative installation point with retail packaged products. All retail editions require product activation and do not include the bypass capability that is supported by licensed editions.

To modify the MST file, follow these steps:
 * 1) Create a folder on your hard disk. For example, create a folder named.

Copy the following Office 2003 installation files from the Office 2003 CD-ROM to the  folder:

If you copy files from the Office 2003 CD, the files will have the read-only attribute set. Right-click the Office_2003.MST file, click Properties, and then click to clear the Read-only check box.

 * 10) Click Yes to overwrite the MST file, and then click Add.

Note The original MST file is available on the Office 2003 CD-ROM.

 * 2) Click Next, and then click Finish to save your MST file.
 * 3) Insert your Office 2003 Professional CD-ROM into your CD drive.
 * 4) Open a command prompt, and move to the root of your CD drive.
