deleting office11 &msocache folders?

i have a problem with office2003
i cant reinstall/repair/uninstall it
tried the ms installer cleanup tool and even after the office2003 entry is
removed from my control panel i still cant install it. so i always end up
using system restore so the entry comes available again in control panel.
however i can repair/uninstall frontpage/MS project/one note and visio no
problem.
so i guess the only thing i can do is to install office2003 all over again
on my D: drive instead of it being on my C: drive.

my question is this:
if i do uninstall frontpage/MS project/one note and visio and then use a
registry cleaner to make sure everything is ok .... can i use ms installer
cleanup tool to remove office 2003 entry from the control panel ... then
right click on the MS Office folder/link in the start menu programs and
delete it. then go to c:program files and DELETE all of the microsoft office
folder (not touching the common files folder) and then go to my msocache
folder and delete the 9000-40009-.... folder.
then run a registry cleaner again to clean up everything and then install
office2003 on my D; drive ?
i also have to mention that i have downloaded every single patch/SP for all
the office 2003 pro compilation and frontpage/MS project/one note and visio
.... and i notice a folder in my c:program files caller officeupdate11 so i
wonder should i delete that folder too so msupdate doesnt read the info
inside of that folder and think that i already have the SPacks installed for
the new office11 directory which is on my D: drive ???

need an expert opinion ... thnx all
