How can I remove Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003 from my Compu

[PERSEVERE]

24 AUG 2008

This is very frustrating!

Everytime I attempt to remove Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003, utilizing
the "Add or Remove Programs" area in my Control Panel, I always get a
"Windows Installer" pop up window which states,

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable."

AND, it states, "Click OK, to try again, or enter an alternate path to a
folder containing the installation package 'BASIC11N.MSI' in the box below.
(I cannot find a folder containing the installation package 'BASIC11N.MSI',
and I don't know what 'BASIC11N.MSI' even means.)

In the "Use Source" area located below the above statement, it offers two
sources, one is: C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\,
and the other source is: Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003.

When I click OK, utilizing the C:\MSOCache\All
Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\, I get yet another "Windows
Installer" pop up window which states,

"The path C:\MSOCache\All
Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\'BASIC11N.MSI' cannot be found.
Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find
the installation package 'BASIC11N.MSI' in a folder from which you can
install the product Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003.

(I have no idea how to verify I have access to this location, and I don't
want to INSTALL, I want to UNINSTALL! What is even more frustrating is that
I cannot copy and paste any of the "Windows Installer" pop up window
contents, I MUST TYPE EVERYTHING.)

Then I must click OK, or X to close the window and get back to the original
widow to try the other source.

When I click OK, utilizing the source: Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003,
AGAIN, I get a "Windows Installer" pop up that says: "The path 'Microsoft
Office Basic Edition 2003' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to
this location and try again, or try to find the instillation package
'BASIC11N.MSI' in a folder from which you can install the product Microsoft
Office Basic Edition 2003.

(Basically the same garbage.)

Therefore, I must click OK, or X to close the window.

Now, in order to close the first "Windows Installer" pop up window, I must
click "Cancel", and when I do so, I get, yes, you guessed it, YET ANOTHER Pop
Up Window, but now it is an "Add or Remove" programs pop up window, and it
says:

"The installation source for this products is not available. Verify that
the source exists and that you can access it."

( I don't know to what it is referring or how to resolve the problem.)

PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried inserting the Office CD?

Have you tried inserting the Office CD?

That would be nice, IF I had a CD. To the best of my recollection,
Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003 was placed on my computer by the HP
repair center about a year ago, when I sent it in for repair 3 times in five
weeks. It was a trial version. I didn't ask for it, and I don't need it,
and I don't want it. It is taking up about 4 gigs hard drive space. I just
want it off of my computer.

I shouldn't think it takes 4 GIGABYTES.......Office 2007 only takes up 304
MEGAbytes......
Try running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:

I downloaded the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but when I attempted to
run it a new window opened entitled "Windows Script Host" - "Windows Script
Host access if disabled on this machine. Contact your administrator for
details."

Please advise next step.

Thanks!
