How do you remove MS Office 2007 technical refresh from your computer?

R

Add/Remove programs will allow me to remove MS Office 2007 beta but it it
says when you click on it that the Technical refresh cannot be removed.
When the beta is over and I decide I want to remove Office 2007 how do I get
that part removed if I cannot get it out of add/remove programs?

thanks

Restore your image taken from before the beta or format your hard drive. This is why Microsoft explicitly tells you not to run a beta on a live production machine.

i am testing it on a computer that i only use for testing purposes but still
even in beta you should be able to uninstall it when it expires or if you
are having difficulty with it without having to do a system restore or a
reformat.

Might I suggest you forego using betas in the future, it doesn't seem to
set well with you.

yes it does, I am testing windows defender beta 2 now on 3 functional usage
computers with no problems, I am testing ie7 beta too on the computer
running office 2007 also with no problems. I have not tried to remove this
yet- it works fine for me, i basically put it on to learn the new features
and to test it for microsoft to get the bugs out of it, but if i decide i do
not want it after the beta is over and also i decide to released copy that
will go out to the public I want the opportunity to be able to take this off
without a system restore.

The technical refresh is part of Office 2007, remove Office 2007 and
the technical refresh will be gone.
