OT: MS office 97 cd?

On or around Tue, 16 Feb 2010 07:27:29 -0800 (PST), "Andrew T." enlightened us thusly:

I do, but buggered if I know where it is, though. Would an ISO work?

There's nothing special about the 97 install CD, so burning a copy from an ISO should work. I vaguely remember installing from an ISO mounted in Virtual CloneDrive, but ICBW.

Hope this helps. If necessary, I can make an ISO available when I get back home from Italy on Monday.

Thanks Austin & John,

Yes I think an ISO would work, saves all the hassle of posting too. I can send you log-in details of my ftp site if you'd prefer not to host it yourself.

Cheers, Andrew

It probably only needs access to a couple of files on the disc, possibly even just the volume name.

Does anyone know the actual requirements? It may save Andrew a lot of effort and we'd get him going sooner.

ISO here:-

But only until Saturday morning. To install it, you'd need a valid Serial Number, of course, but you should be OK if it's just to prove you've got a copy.

They cancelled mine as well, can't be bothered as I'm out of the UK, I'll just install the cut down version of Star Office that's free.

Thank you John! Saves me alot of hassle. Andrew

John,

I've now downloaded it, so you can delete asap. Thanks again, Andrew
