I'm a new action pack subscriber. Installed Office 2007 enterprise with no
problems, but when I try to install Project Pro 2007 I get the following...
"Locate your earlier version of Microsoft Office"
"Setup can't find a version of Microsoft Office on your computer"

I saw where others had resolved that issue by using the 2003 cd, but I don't
have an earlier version.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you afforded the opportunity to browse to look for the executables such
as Excel.exe or MSPROJ.exe ? I think Project is searching for MSPROJ.exe for
the upgrades.

Thx Jim...It allows me to browse for a folder not a file....I attempted
several, but still no success.

Gordon,

I had this same problem. It is looking for an earlier version of project.
Luckily, I had a copy of MS project 2000. I put that in my drive, pointed to
the root and presto - installation works.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Has anyone been able to resolve
it yet?

Thanks, AC
