How do I completely unistall Office 2007 Beta 2?

M

merlinguy

When trying to re-install Office 2007 Beta 2 - the setup immediately
generates an error after entring the activation key. The error is a popup
that says:

"An error occurred druing the installation and Microsoft Office Professional
Plus 2007 (Beta) setup was unable to complete.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem.

I have sent the error report to Microsoft & Office 2007 does not show in
Add/Remove programs but an error occurred when I un-installed 2007 & now I
cannot re-install. Any pointers on how to remove traces of a previous
installation of Office 2007?

Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and run that - it should
clean up the bits for you after you have deleted the program files and the
shared folder.

I am having EXACTLY the same problem with beta 2. Guess what? The bug will
put the kabosh on all of the other beta installs as well. Visio Beta2 will
not install right after entering the code key. If you look in the install
log (it's C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local
Settings\Temp\SetupExe(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).log file ti will tell you where the
hang was. Post the text of that code here and I will compare it with what I
have to see if we are having the same problem...

How do I completely uninstall? There is nothing in add-remove programs. No
uninstall file. I installed update; will uninstalling affect my Office 2003?
I am not sufficiently experienced to troubleshoot this installation, so I
just want it gone. Thank you.
