How to get rid of publisher deleting Office 2003 beta 2

[Miguel]

Running Xp pro.
When installing Office 2003 all the uninstalling of the
beta version happens but publisher stays there no matter
what you do (uninstalling from Add/remove programs doesn't
work, neither repair, nor reinstalling the beta and
uninstalling again).
Please please please help
(Although I new the risks of using a beta no need to tell
me to format, I don't need that kind of wise information

By the way, the publisher installer crashes with "windows
installer terminated prematurely", and the error message
from Ad or remove programs is "The I/O operation has been
aborted because of either a thread exit or an application
request"
