How to install Microsoft Office 2007 on a JMU-owned computer

NOTE: If you use and/or share Access databases, Information Technology recommends that you review the web links below and test a copy of your databases independently on a computer with Office 2007 prior to upgrading your primary computer. 

• Convert a database to the Access 2007 file format:   http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA100484061033.aspx?pid=CH100645711033
• Converting to Access 2007 (this is an independent, non-Microsoft site):   http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html

First determine if your computer is joined to the JMU Active Directory domain (JMUAD).

If your computer is joined to the Active Directory domain:
(Note: you can be logged in with a Standard Windows User or an Administrator account to install using this method)

1. Click Start, Control Panel
2. Double click Run Advertised Programs
3. Click On Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - Installer
4. Proceed through the installation steps

If your computer is NOT joined to the Active Directory domain:
(Note: You MUST be logged in with a Windows Administrator account to install using this method)

1. Click Start, All Programs, JMU Apps
2. Select Microsoft, Ms-Office 2007
3. Proceed through the installation steps

Note: If Run Advertised Programs does not exist and JMU Apps does not appear, click Start, All Programs, ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management, then Application Explorer. JMU Apps should now show up under Start, All Programs and you can proceed with the steps above.
