How to uninstall Publisher 2003

[JPA Dude]

I have recently upgraded two of my office computers from XP Home to XP
Profesional. After the installation Publisher no longer shows up in the all
programs list. When I try to reinstall it, it says "Uninstallation of the
patch package is not supported". So I went into add/remove programs and there
it shows up, but when i click remove it just blinks a couple times then
doesn't do anything. Do you have any suggestions on what I should try next?

You need to run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
You receive the "This patch package could not be opened" error message in an
Office program
