Uninstalling Office '95

M

Manuel

I installed Office '95 (not all components, only Access,
PowerPoint, Bookshelf, and whatever other components are
installed via the set-up wizard), and now would like to
uninstall it. You would think this would be easy, but
the Office '95 CD does not provide an option for
uninstalling software, only installing. I also tried
removing Office '95 through the add/remove programs
option on my computer (I am running Office XP), but when
I select the Microsoft Office Professional program from
the list, and select the change/remove button, I get a
prompt to insert the Office CD. Then I'm back at the
install menu on the CD, but still there's no uninstall
option.

Any suggestions? Your help in much appreciated.

Thanks,

Manuel

No I do not see this option. Every time the CD runs it
starts from the beginning. By that I mean it prompts me
for my Name and Organization name, the CD key, and issue
a new Product ID, as well as providing the option to
select which folder I want to install programs too.
After all this then it takes me to a menu of options,
those being:

Typical
Compact
Custom
Run From CD-ROM

That's it - no option to uninstall. What do you make of
this??

Thanks,

Manuel
