Can FP 2003 be installed on a machine with 2007 without causing problems?
I did this with the BETA version and can use both applications - except
anything dealing with Mail as attachemt to or the search desktop feature. It
says it cannot load the MAPI library mail32.dll from applications such as
Word, PPT, Excel etc. Then it proceeds to tell me Mail is not installed.
Outlook however does function properly.
From reading online it sounds like you can't have any portion of 2003
installed alongside 2007. Is this accurate?
 
Beta application should never be installed on production PCs.

It's a machine that we plan to reimage when the final version is available...
however that does not answer the question of whether the two will be able to
be installed together.
 
You should always install software in the order it was released, since files with the same name will
be overwritten.

MS doesn't recommend that you have more then one version of office (apps) installed at one time.

I have no problems with sending documents as attachments from Office
2007 RTM applications installed on a machine that already has FP2003
installed. The PC also has Visio 2003 and InfoPath 2003 installed.
 
Yes they can co-exist but
If you are installing FP 2003 after Office 2007 do not install any of the common shared Office tools
