Window's Installer continues to pop up

[Desperate Student]

I downloaded the 07 Office Trial version. When the trial period ended, I
installed 03 Office. Since then, the Window's Installer pops up each time I
start Word. Please help.

I just noticed that you have multiposted this. Please do not multipost . It ads confusion for everyone. Crosspost if needed

Now
Try running a Detect and Repair and then use the tool I posted from the MS -KB in my previous posts

 

[Desperate Student]

I apologize for multipost.

How do I run Detect and Repair? Do I need a program for that?

In the application click Help, it's on the menu.

Hi, I'm only able to run detect but not Repair.

In the application click Help, it's on the menu.

And why not?

If I am supposed run Detect and Repair from Office, then I can only run
Detect.

I apologize for replying twice. I had 07 Office Trial Version. When the Trial
version ended, I installed 03 Office. However, the 07 Trial Version still
appears on Add/Remove. Yet, I can't remove it. This problem started since
then.

In light of that info, see this article
How to uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by
using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature

Okay, I reinstalled 03 Office and had no issues w/ Window's Installer.
However, I purchased the 07 Office and installed it. Whenever I open 07 Word,
the Window's Installer pop up appear. In the my All Programs, the 03 Office
programs are still listed, but it's not in the Add/Remove. Before installing
07 Office, removed 03 Office and still got the pop up. Then, I installed 03
Office and upgraded to 07 and still get the pop up. It's extremely annoying
b/c it takes more than 2 minutes before Word actually opens.

Why do you keep putting Office 2003 on? Only install the 2007, just
provide the 2003 CD when asked for qualifying software.

 

[Desperate Student]

I upgraded the 07 Office from 03 and got the pop up. Then I removed the 03
office using add/remove, then installed the 07 Office and still got the pop
up.

 

[Bob I]

Sorry, I can't keep up with all the installations/changes you have done
to the system. Maybe someone else may have an idea. Did you actually
remove the trial version?

 

[Desperate Student]

I installed 03, then upgraded to 07, but I got pop up. So, I uninstalled 07,
then uninstalled 03, thereafter I installed 07 and got the pop up. However,
when I just use 03 Office and use that, there is no pop up.

The trial version was removed long time ago, a 07 trial still shows up on
add/remove and I can't remove it.

At this point all I can surmise is that the Word 2003 still is on the PC
and that it is the registered version. See the section about Multiple
versions of Word in the article at the link below.
