Office 2003 - Uninstall (Installallation Source not available)

[David GOR65]

I am trying to uninstall office 2003. I am getting message "Installation
Source not available".

I have tried the "Custom Maintenance Wizard & the LIS Tool" with no success.

Can some one help me find a solution.

How are you going about with the uninstallation. Control Panel\Add Remove or with the Office 2003 media

Peter,

Thanks for writing. Yes I have tried from the Control Panel add & remove.
Also with the media as well. Same response either way.

OK let us try the following. It is a long shot but might do the trick. Follow the instructions in the below MS KB and remove anything that is listed for Office 2003. When done then try the uninstall

Peter,

I was looking at this over the weekend but was unsure if I should do it,
well I did and that seemed to let me access the CD. What I had to then was to
do a install of 2003 again to set registry etc, then do an uninstall.

Now am also running the office 2007 suite.

The 2003 would not re-install Outlook. I guess because of Outlook 2007.

I removed all the directories involved with Office 2003.

For some reason the system is still wanting to see Outlook 2003 but it is
not there. Even to the point that the updater wants to install an update to
Outlook 2003.

I also can not get the contact manager to load in for Outlook 2007.

Can you provide me with additional help?

Thanks.............
