Installation

Objective

  • Keep 2007 after 2010 is installed
  • Know where its components are installed so you can

control its operation Environments

  • Do it yourself

– There is an option to keep 2007

  • Centralized robo rollout in a corporate environment

– May not have option to keep 2007 – Reinstall 2007 after 2010 installed

Installation

Where is everything?

  • Executable program

– They have the same filename - WINPROJ.EXE – Windows XP and Windows 7 store differently – 2010 and 2007 can coexist but can’t run at the same time

  • MPT file

– 2007 (Menu, Views, tables, filters, macros, reports…) – 2010 (Views, tables, filters, macros, reports…)

  • Ribbon export file (2010 menu)
