How to remove Office 2003 totally from XP-Home SP2



After having changed my old C: with a new and bigger one I experience some
problems with my MS Office Professional Edition 2003.

The Office seems to be working in some way, but some feature is no longer
working and it's impossible to; -repair, - reinstall, - uninstall any part
of the Office.

Every time I try to enter "setup", via "removing software" I get a bunch of
errors.



Starting MSWord error:

An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Please
run setup and select "Repair..." to restore this application



When I try to use Windows Installer, I get these errors:

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable.



Then I try to brows and find the missing file: PRO11.MSI, but now it start
looking for a file does not exsist!! (511735.MAINSP1op.msp)

C:\Program Files\OfficeUpdate11\Cabs\511735\511735.MAINSP1op.msp)

Then a new error message:

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it.





I have tried lots of different things for to get around this problem, I even
manual deleted the whole Office folder, deleted all Office entries in
register. And then I ran a few RegClean programs.



After that I tried to make a fully new Office install to the same folder,
but this was also blocked with some message saying something about the
previous Office and prevent me for going further.

I tried several setup /x options, but still the same.





Then I made a System Restore and now I'm back to the beginning again.



So, now I need some help on what to do next?



1. How can I repair or restore my MSOffice 2003? (See my first 2 error
messages)



2. How to completely remove MSOffice 2003 and all entries from XP Home, when
I can't run the uninstall or setup command? In such away that I can make a
clean install again!

Well I can't say much about the state of your system as you have modified
your registry and picked Office folders on your hard drive to delete.
Hopefully you are in a stable state currently. I would suggest putting the
cd in and seeing if you can run a repair from the cd. If that option isn't
provided it probably doesn't think Office is installed and you should try a
clean install. If it gives you errors you can try and run with a /qr switch
(reduced UI) and it will hopefully bypass any errors.

Good luck,
Ryan

Hi and thanks.



I tried the /qr switch, but it didn't work. Still asking for this unknown
file in the update folder:



Anyway, I sat down yesterday and used a few "cleaning" program and removed
any reference to Office. Then I was able to make a clean install for the CD'
s.
