Uninstalling Office 2000

[4Callanans]

OK - years ago I installed Office 2000 Small Business (in 1999). My computer
is acting weird and now when I open Excel it does open the app, but as soon
as I click on the spreadsheet I get "The application must be installed to be
run. Please run setup from the location where you originally installed the
application." I couldn't find any setup file. When I went to uninstall
Office 2000 from my Add/Remove Programs - it was not listed (actually there
are a lot of programs missing). So this is what I did -- I renamed the
Microsoft Office folder (under Program Files) to Microsoft Office - OLD.
Then I tried to install Office 2000 Prof. Edition. Installation went fine -
but again, the Excel app gave me the same error. I looked at the new
Microsoft Office folder (under Program Files) and the dates for the install
were the 1999 ones. Why didn't it use the install from today 12/31/06? So I
figured I just uninstall both Office 2000 Prof and Small Business - - but I
don't see Office 2000 Small Business in my Add/Remove. How can I remove it
completely? I thought if I got rid of both, and reinstalled the Prof Edition
- I would be all set. HELP!!!

Office2K pro simply contains components not included in O2k SB, Access to
name one
The SB edition was generally supplied as an OEM version.

I would suggest you tried uninstalling O2k Pro, either via Add/Remove or
using the Pro cd.
Then undo your rename of the origonal Office folder.

Finally use this tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239938
hopefully that will remove O2k SB. Once done install O2k Pro

I uninstaleed 0ffice 2000 via Add/Remove - but when I went to change original
folder back to Microsoft Office - - I noticed the new folder (that was
generated by installing Office 2000 Professional) was still there and it is
named Microsoft Office. Thus I am not allowed to change the name to because
it's the same name as the other folder. Can I just delete the folder and
it's contents - - can I delete the Prof folder and then rename the original
Office 2000 folder then run your utility?

You will need the Off2K CD's to uninstall the suite. MS has discontinued support for Off2K because of the issues that arose with Sun Microsystems judgment in the courts.

Just insert the same CD's that you used to install the Off2K on the computer .

and follow the instructions for the removal.

Office 2000 can only be removed with the original installation CD. It will not remove with the Add\Remove route.unless you want to reformat the HD.
