Can't install or uninstall MS Project 2003 - WIN2K GrassCutter 3/29/2007 9:46:01 PM Office 2003 installed and works fine. MS Project 2003 installed at same time. Program is listed in Start>Prg>MS Office>MS Proj 2003 but properties show a blank application target. Clicking shortcut says "Action valid for Products currently installed". Install wizard says "..another instance is present...remove previous instance using add/remove". Not listed in Add/Remove. Not in registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall folder. Can't remove by running existing .msi file with NOREMOVESPAWN=1 option. Running the executable tries to start in Safe Mode but fails and also fails to run Detect and Repair. Does anyone know what registry key the installer is looking at to think an instance is present or what other Reg keys to remove to allow a re-install? OldButStillLearning
