We have Office 2003 deployed via Group Policy & the option of 'Uninstall this
application when it falls out of the scope of management' is checked.

If we remove a pc from the security deployment group, Office 2003 uninstalls
correctly - however, if we put the same pc back into the group - only Access
2003 re-installs.

The only thing we can think of for this happening is that we have a setting
within the transform (.MST file) for retaining Access 97 (used on an old
database application) - all other previous Office applications are
uninstalled when Office 2003 installs.

A similar thing happens if we deploy to a machine which has had Office 2003
manually installed - the deployment uninstalls everything but only reinstalls
Access.

In theory, all of Office should install - there seems to be a glitch within
the GP deployment process that is causing this error.

Anybody offer any help here?
