How to completely delete Office 2003 components?
I'm regularly experiencing windows update failures since I installed
Publisher 2003 some months ago: the Genuinine Advantage Tool cannot be loaded on my machine anymore. I did not notice this earlier since this machine runs as a back-up. I strongly believe that Pub's Genuine Validation tool has been messed up when MS Pub was installed. It took multiple installation runs and I had to download quite a few tools until the prg could be activated. Now, I found out that MS Pub cannot even be deleted! A pop-up window states that a corrective package cannot be opened. Question: How can I get rid of MS Publisher and ALL Office 2003 components? Some components appear to be un-removable. I am perfectly happy working with Office 2000. TIA for any hints. |

How to completely delete Office 2003 components?
If you have a product failure and you are unable to uninstall the typical
way, you can remove any pre 2007 office products with the windows installer cleanup utility. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/290301 -- Thank you, Eric Ashton Microsoft Office Setup -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
