Problem installing Office 2003 on Vista Home Premium

**DotNetUser** · 24-11-2008

I want to install Microsoft Office 2003 on a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. It starts normally, but refuses to recognize the key. The problem is that it does not recognizes it.

Is there any incompatibility problem with this version of Vista? Should I go for Office 2007? Who is cause of this issue: Vista or Office?

Are you having full version of Office 2003 CD?

I also tried to install Office 2003 on my PC with Vista installed and I think that it is unstable above 2003.

I suppose Vista and Office 2003 are not really friends.

No, it's a complete install (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access etc). But I think I have a solution: OpenOffice, which works very well.

Thank you for your information, this makes me say that Vista is not really "my" favorite OS.
