Registry Cleaner? - after Trial version, before retail box 2007 of

[hisplaceresort]

Per advice just received, I'm going to uninstall the trial office 2007 and
reinstall the retail box version I've purchased, (as opposed to just trying
to activate my trial with the retail product key.)

I saw somewhere in this forum that a specific registry cleaner app (from
MS?) should be run to get the remnants of Office removed. (I can't find the
post where this was mentioned, and I think a link provided.) I wanted to do
this after I uninstalled the trial version, before I installed the retail box
version.

I believe this was not some generic registry cleaner application, but
something specific to Office.

Help greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance...

from running it. If you have imaging capability, I'd certainly
take a volume image before running it.

After reading the warning, I didn't run it, just uninstalled the trial
version, and installed the box version. I had no problems.
