Unable to uninstall MOE 2007

[Knowledge]

When I try and delete the folder "office12" I get an error message
saying that I "don't have permission to uninstall this folder"

No one use the computer except moi, and I'm always signed on as
administrator. Administrator has full options according to what I see
in the control panel.

How do I completely uninstall these several TRIAL versions that have
long expired. They still open up, but I can't enter or save anything.

I never got the chance to test the trial as it .ucked up a day or two
after I installed it.

I just want to rid my machine of it permanently. I will happily use
Microsoft Works 8.5 which came with my new computer. It does all I
need.

TIA

Well,

I tried following that detailed support file from Microsoft. I didn't
get all the way through it. I still can't remove the "office12"
folder. It is saying that "I don't have the proper permissions"

I am logged in as administrator, and have all administrator rights
available to me. This Blows!

I guess I will have to format the hard dick. :-(

Allways signed on as Administrator?, does that literally mean you are using
the Administrator Account, or an Account with Adminastrative priveledges; If
the former, thats a very bad idea
If the latter log on to the Adinistrator Acount

I always logon using the "Administrator account"

Should I not?

What to do next? This office logo pops up when I'm clicking on
properties and other things,but none of the programs work.

This suite frightens me. I want to be rid of it. I'm happy using works
and Filemaker Pro version 9. I don't need this gargantuan mess of
garbage. I've had it!

Some one help me get this merda off my computer!

I wouldn't buy it now with your money.

The default Administrator account is the one you would use 'when' you have
problems with your PC. By allways using this account it creates problems.
Either create a 'user' account with administrative priveledges or use the
'yourname account' that would have been created when you set up Win. If
neccessary give 'yourname' account all priveledges. Then use this account as
the default.

PS You could try booting into safe mode and see if you can delete the folder
then. I'm assuming no Office Programs are shown in Add/Remove dialogue

Ok,

I'll make sure I use a normal account with administrator privileges
instead of using the "Administrator? account?

Yes couple instances of Office 2007 Enterprise and one for
Professional show up in the add remove panel. When I click on them it
says "setup could not find any available products to install. Please
contact your system masterbaitor."

I created a new user account with Administrator privileges.

It still won't allow me to remove the Office12 folder

I've tried following the knowledge base stuff, but it doesn't seem to
work either.

I wonder why they didn't put an uninstall program in that folder that
will work when everything else won't.

It has been way over a month now since I began trying to remove these
"trial" versions of Professional and Enterprise.

Surely, I won't have to format my hard drive and start from scratch to
get rid of this mess.

Is this a Vista Problem? Or a MOE 2007 problem? :-(

I've never had a problem like this before with any Microsoft hardware.

I've been using the administrator account as my primary account for
the last two months.

I created a new account last night with administrator privileges.
There seems to be a lot of icons missing from the desktop, and other
stuff. How do I repair the damage you feel may have been using the
administrator account for the past two months that I have been using
this news computer?

Oh yes, my computer refuses to boot into safe mode. I get the screen.
I scroll down to "Safe mode with networking" press enter and then it
boots up normally?

What in the Sam Himmel is causing that?

Yes there are two instance in the add/remove dialogue, but when I
click on them, I get a message saying something about


"Setup could not find any available products to install. Please
contact your dumb arse system administrator"


I'm fairly well rested now. So I will go back through that Microsoft
article you shared again, and see if I can follow it all the way to
the end this time.
