Can't uninstall Office 2000 Computer Doc 6/22/2007 8:01:03 AM Hello Everyone - A friend has Office 2000 installed on his Windows 2000 machine and wants to uninstall it. When he attempts to do this the uninstall program wants him to insert a CD (I think it's Setup Disk 1 or some such) but he doesn't have any Office CDs because he inherited the machine. Isn't there some way to uninstall it without CDs?

Quoting from KB239938: "Do not use this utility to completely clean a working copy of Office from a computer. Run this utility only after you run the Setup program for Office 2000, and then click Remove Office."

Re: Can't uninstall Office 2000 "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" <garfieldnodie[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 6/24/2007 3:06:19 AM I read the OP's question the same way, but the Office 2000 eraser utility is not designed to remove a complete Office 2000 installation... it is only supposed to be used to remove the remnants *after* running the Office 2000 uninstall program from the Office 2000 CD.

Re: Can't uninstall Office 2000 "Peter Foldes" <okf22[ at ]hotmail.com> 6/24/2007 1:45:51 PM OK. I understood it as DL. So I re -read it and understood it different as did g-n-o. So out of curiosity I installed my Off2000Premium (took a long time to find) on one of my test machines. After Install I tried the Tool to remove it and it did not do the job. It left Off2000 in shambles. I repaired the install with the install disk and then proceeded the uninstall it with the CD 1. I was able to do it painlessly and after removal I run the tool in the supplied KB and it removed quite a bit of leftovers from the 2000 install. The tool in the KB is for the removal of left over's from the Office 2000 install. Now my curiosity is satisfied -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
