Freeware MSProject viewer?

December 7, 2007 5:19 AM

I have a Microsoft Project (.mpp) file, need to view/print it, don't have MS Project installed. Is there a freeware viewer (for Windows) / other alternative I can use to get a look at the file?

I have done a google search, found several MS Project viewers, but all are shareware or commercial software. Anyone know of a $0-cost option? All I need to do is view and print it. (I have two machines -- one Windows2000, the other Vista.)

This one is free to try, but costs to buy.

Just download the free 60-day trial of Project from Microsoft.

Totally free.

You have to export from Project in xml format. Works well with the projects I've opened.
