Micrososft Office Enterprise 2007 won't UN-INSTALL - Please help

[Cazzythom]

Hi All,

I hope you can help me. I don't use Office Enterprise very much so I wan't
to unistall the whole program from my system but when I try using ADD/REMOVE
programs, it says it can't unistall this as the files have been corrupted and
that I should try using the disc I set program up with to uninstall.

Unfortunatley I don't have the disk, so is there any other way of getting
this off my system safely ?

I hope you can help me.

Kind Regards,

Caroline x

PS: I'm using Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Where did you get the install from?? If it is a pirated version of Enterprise then you are out of luck here.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for responding. Unfortunatley I'm not sure 'where' it came from as a
friend downloaded it for me a while back. Thing is, I just don't really use
the program, so its just a pure waste of disk space.

So can anyone help or ...?

Hi Carey,

Thanks for the advice. I have just run through the instructions to try and
uninstall Office Enterprise 2007. The file '4b2186c.msi' wouldn't uninstall
and I could also not delete file 'ose00000.exe' but I managed to do
everything else it told me too.

At the end of the instructions (from your link) I am a bit confused as it
says, restart your system and then re-install office 2007 ? I don't really
understand that as I want to uninstall it. What does that mean ?

Also...can I ask.....will my PC now be Office Enterprise 2007 free ?

I appreciate your help and I eagerley await your response.

Many Thanks,

ose00000.exe ???????????

You have a pirated version of Office Enterprise installed. To remove your pirated Office Enterprise completely without the original install CD media you will have to reformat your system.
