Per Microsoft: "These problems may occur if the Windows Registry is missing some registry keys."

Note that Office 2003 isn't officially compatible with Win 10. The above referenced article suggests installing 'MDAC 2.8' but the link that MS provides seems to have changed. I did find a link for MDAC 2.8, but to be honest, I have no idea if it will work/install to Win 10. For your convenience, the link to MDAC 2.8 is :

This is worth reading if you want to try older versions of Office in Windows 10.

Hello,

I did not read all the commentaries of the link provided by @Bree

I am pretty sure that I can run Office 2003 in Windows 10 64-bits- 903 build

I have to read all the the comments and do some test, without VM or similar

For example there is a good know issue with WU and Office 2003

I found 'MDAC 2.8' but is Available for x86-based computers only maybe WIn 10 32-bits - build 903?

So for now know I am still having issues installing old libraries

So maybe someone with the time to explore can help me to run Office 2003 in Win x64

Thanks
