OFF2000: "Keep these programs" Check Box Unavailable
This article was previously published under Q226517
When you run the Office Setup program and you click
Customize in the
Ready to Install dialog box, the
Keep these programs check box is unavailable in the
Remove Previous Versions dialog box.
The
Keep these programs check box may be unavailable if any of the following are true:
- You are installing Office into the same folder as an earlier version of Office.
-or-
- You originally installed an earlier version of Office to the default \Program Files\Microsoft Office folder, then uninstalled it and reinstalled it to a different folder. In this case, the assumption is that you are installing Office into the default \Program Files\Microsoft Office folder.
-or-
- You have an earlier version of Office installed to a folder other than the folder to which you are installing Office 2000, but you have an Office family program, Microsoft Project 98 for example, installed in the same folder in which you are installing Office 2000.
To work around any of the above situations, follow these steps:
- In the Microsoft Office 2000: Removing Previous Versions dialog box click Back.
- In the Microsoft Office 2000 Installation Location dialog box, change the folder specified in the Install Office 2000 at: box to something other than the previous or current location of your earlier Office installation.
- Click Next.
The
Keep these programs check box will now be available.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
