Completely Uninstall Office XP

[Susan Ramlet]

That is my understanding, yes. For better or worse, in versions Office XP
and later, they feel Office does a better job of uninstalling, and the
uninstall is as thorough as it could / should be.

If there is a particular problem related to installation (or uninstallation)
that is needing to be solved, let's try to address the problem symptoms and
go from there.

That is my understanding, yes. For better or worse, in versions
Office XP and later, they feel Office does a better job of
uninstalling, and the uninstall is as thorough as it could /
should be.

Then they feel wrong and it IS for worse. If the uninstaller leaves
ANY registry entries, any .dll files, it's not doing it's job, nor,
AFAIK, does it meet the standards MSFT asks other software companies to
meet! An uninstaller should remove an application, it should not
remove only what someone feels is "as thorough as it could/should be".

If there is a particular problem related to installation (or
uninstallation) that is needing to be solved, let's try to address
the problem symptoms and go from there.

No need, in this particular case, the MSFT person thought the failure
of Office to completely uninstall itself was the reason it wouldn't re-
install. The MSFT person was wrong but that's a whole other story, the
point is it *should* uninstall completely as should every piece of
software, regardless of the vendor.

MSFT has already decided they cannot fix the problem nor are they
willing to try since it involves software not the latest version and
I've found happiness with software from another source.
