cannot uninstall office 2003 after upgrade to 2007: Missing Patch

[John McDonald]

I recently upgraded from Office 2003 to 2007. I am trying t uninstall the
office 2003 but recieve a "missing patch" error. I am having problems caused
by running 2 versions of outlook. If I run the unistaller utility will I
lose all of my outlook information, contacts, calendar, messages, etc? Is
this the best way to fix tis problem?

Office will not install two versions of Outlook, if you upgraded 2003, and
it was successfully completed then you now have Office 2007.
If the two office versions were different then you may still have Office
2003 individual components.

I upgraded from 2003 home & student to 2007 small business. I think this may
be why I am getting the error messages. Any ideas on running the uninstall
wizard to fix this problem?

If you have the Office 2003 H&S cd you should be able to use this to
uninstall 2003
