Install Office 2000 with windows 8. Error 1919

Replacing/adding registry keys/sub-keys for an incompatible application doesn't change the fact that it's incompatible. Aside from the fact the incompatibility goes far deeper than just a few registry entries, all "successfully" installing Office 2000 may achieve is introducing other faults into an otherwise stable system.

Thanks, I'm sure you are right. However, if I purchased Office 2010 would that still need the two missing ODBC files?
All the best

Hi Paul,

Sometimes modification in registry keys can resolve these "configuring ODBC data source" errors, i have done it before.

Anyways thanks for updating me. I will keep in mind this information, whenever i would suggest solution about this error.
