Re: Uninstall Office 2003 Trial? Add/Remove returns Error Message!

It sounds like the Local Installation Source (LIS) for Office 2003 was
moved or deleted. The LIS is used instead of the installation CD if
you want to add/remove features or remove Office. Do you recall
deleting or moving a folder called "Msocache"? In any event, you'll
need to obtain the Local Installation Source Tool which will help you
correct the issue:

When I try to uninstall Trial Office 2003 (Downloaded Version)
Add/Remove
returns the following "The installation source for the product is
not
available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access
it."

I have the original Office.exe file on my desktop, but how do I tell
A/R
where it is, or is there another solution?

Please help, I'm in a real bind here - Kevin
