uninstall office 2000-- 'error 1706'

[orcadianborn]

I have tried to uninstal office 2000 prof. My operating system is win 2000.
It starts the uninstall then says it needs a CD to continue. The original
CD-1 is loaded and is not recognised. It keeps askinf for the CD. It will
not repair or install but keeps providing the erroe message 1706 file
DATA1PRO.MSI cannot be found. Any suggestions as to how to resolve this
would be very much appreciated.

I am not an expert at all, but can you uninstall from the CD itself? You know
where it say install new components, Repair, Uninstall?
Are you trying to uninstall using the control panel / Add Remove programs?

Hi Glenn,

The Data1pro.msi file would be from a Corporate 'Select' subscription CD for MS Office, rather than a MS retail product CD.

If the installation has become damaged you may need to use the MS Installer cleanup utility (backup your files first) from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-us?FR=1
to remove the Office 2000 entries from the registry, then restart the PC and install Office 2000 back to the same location. If you
want to then remove it, you should be able to do so after that in a controlled manner.
