Office Pro and Visual Studio Tools

  Hi,
  
  Can you confirm which version of Visual Studio Tools for Office (2003 or 2005) are you running. Both work against Office 2003
  
  Thanks

  Hi,
  
  Do you have a copy of Visual Studio as well, as you do not say in your post
  Visual Studio Tools for Office extends the functionality of an existing Visual Studio installation, to my knowledge it is not a separate development environment.

  I think I know what your problem is. There's an issue where certain flavors of Office Pro aren't recognized by the VSTO 2003 prerequisite checks.  You can workaround this problem by extracting the MSI out of the Setup.exe and running it directly - you can extract the MSI out by running "setup.exe /c".  This will bypass any prerequisite checks that are baked into the .exe.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  Give it a try and let me know.  Thanks!

  I have the same problem, but setup.exe /c didn't help. I just bought VSTO 2005. I thought I had Office 2003, but it was Office XP. So I bought Office 2007 Pro Upgrade. Now I have Office 2000, Office XP, and Office 2007 installed. But when I try to install VSTO 2005, it says I have to install the Office 2003 SP1. I can't afford to buy another version of Office! Please Help!!!

  I also have the same problem.

  The setup.exe /c didn't work for me.

  Anyone else have any ideas

  Thanks!
