Removing old shortcuts after Office 2003 installation

[Vince]

When creating my custom installation I have specified
specific microsoft shortcuts to be deleted form the
programs list. After installing office 2003 the shortcuts
are not removed. Is there any way to automatically remove
these shortcuts? Our standard images have custom
shortcuts created in the progam lists (MS Office XP).
After the custom installation (MS Office 2003) it leaves
behind the Office XP shortcuts.

Hi Vince,

Were the shortcuts that were left behind those installed
by Office XP (registry/MSI controlled) or .LNK files that
were added? If .LNK shortcuts you may have to list them
as files to be removed specifically in your custom
installation wizard (CIW) files from http://microsoft.com/office/ork

Also check in Add/Remove programs to see if there are
any 2000 or 2002 apps still listed as installed.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the quick response! The shortcuts are the
original XP shortcuts that are put into start\programs.
In my images I consolidated the Office suite into one
folder. "start\programs\MS Office XP Suite" In add\remove
programs Office XP is still there because we need to keep
it for Access 2002. The other programs are listed as
unavailable. The problem is if I click on one of those XP
shortcuts it will reinstall the program. This is a
company wide rollout and I need to somehow get those
shortcuts removed during custom installation. Please
Help!!
