Removing Office

[jeffuk123]

Hello,

Is there a utility to completely remove office products, or what is the best
way to do this?

A client apparently had office xp installed, then office 200 and then tried
to upgrade to office 2003.

However, the windows installer kept appearing when opening office
applications. I used the Windows Installer cleanup Utility to prevent this.
Although it still appears but for not as long. Also, Outlook appears
completely corrupt. Cannot open outlook, even in outlook safe mode, or even
check the mail settings in the control panel.

Removing office from add/remove programs or the cleanup utility has not
solved these problems. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Jeff

basically, if the
office folder is no
longer existent on
the disk, then the
next step is to clear
out the registry of
all the orphans resulting
from repeated installs and
uninstalls of differing versions
of that program..

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I did wonder about cleaning up the registry but thought the windows
installer cleanup would have done this. I will have to check.
