Trouble removing Office 2003 after install of BETA 2
Fred Jacobowitz 15.07.2006 23:03:01
If I try to "Remove or Change' Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
from Add or Remove Programs I get the dialog box Add or Remove Programs ! The
installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it.

I see the source directory and I can access it.

If I run Word 2003 I get the message Microsoft Office Word 11.0 i The
windows installer dialog appears and then I get this error message. An error
occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Please run
Setup and Select "Repair....." to restore this application.

If I run Help Repair... I get the same messages.

If I try to reinstall the product from the CD it ask for the registration
numbers. However, I have a multi-license CD from my University and it never
asked me this before.
Help Fred
