Install versions of Microsoft Office and Quick Books 2002

Is it possible to downloadMicrosoft Office XP 2002 normal and quick books small business 2002 with Windows Vista? When you try to install Quick Books, the message, I wwas: "cannot find ' Windows\Command.com '.

Check programs to ensure compatibility with Vista to the: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/.  With Office, it depends on your version of Vista (32-bit is but 64-bit isn't)http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Office%20XP%20Standard&v=Microsoft&uid=10&pf=0&pi=1&s=Microsoft%20Office%20XP%20Standard%202002&os=32-bit.  With Quick Books, I couldn't find a reference, but Quicken 2002 is not compatible, so I guess the same is true for Quickbookds.  Your best bet is to contact Adobe and ask them for the results here are not clear (but I bet that's not compatible based on the problems you are having with the installation).

Sometimes you can get apps more old which are not compatible to run Vista inhttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/Compatibility Mode.  But of course you must first be able to install them.  In Vista, command.com is found not in Windows\ but in Windows\System32.  That would be enough to prevent installation.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
