How to uninstall Microsoft Office Activation Assistant (2007)?

Hi Folks-
Do I need to uninstall the assistant? Will it cause problems later?
I've installed Home and Student on 2 computers (bought a 3-user box):
one by CD w/o the assistant, the other by code (much easier) with the
assistant. I never actually activated the trials. I have no problems
with either computer (got lucky, I guess). I did delete the assistant
icons to prevent accidental use of the aa (the desktop is shared by
family members). Should I uninstall the aa? Is there a disk space
issue? Will it be needed again?
Thanks.g.

1.
Use "Regedit" to nagivate to
-HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\{65DA2EC9-0642-47E9-AAE2-B5267AA14D75}-
or search HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni stall for
"Activation Assitant".
To use Regedit, use Windows-Start- Run and type in "Regedit"
HKLM is an abbreviation to HiveKeyLocalMachine, which appears as
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" within the registry editor.

2.
Change Values for Keys "NoRepair", "NoModify", "NoRemove" from "1" to
"0"
as there is no Key "UninstallString", only a value vor "InstallSource"

3.
Uninstall Office Activation Assistant using "System" - "Maintenance"
- "Software" (might be a different path on Vista, I'm also not sure if
I used the correct terms as im using a German Vista installation)

Worked fine for me when I first erranously removed Trial Version of
Office 2007 Home and Student prior to Activation Assistant.

Hope this solution works for others also, so good luck.
If so, post a reply I you like.

Hi all

I had the same problem but I found that a program called Revo
Uninstaller, which was recommended by Computer Choice magazine, did the
complete job of uninstallation without any questions asked. As an extra
bonus, this software is totally free from
