Re: uninstalling beta version of Office 2007

Do you have Expression Web Beta installed? If yes, then you just killed that as well. Try to remove it via setup. You prob. can't, so you'll have to delete the Expression folder in Program Files and the Expression keys in HKLM/HKCU \Software\Microsoft (assuming that you have no other Expression product installed).

I have going through the steps you sent me, but when I come to removing the
beta release version of the 2007 Office installation files and folder, I am
unable to delete the Office12 folder. I get a message: Cannot delete
msxml5r.dll: Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or
write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." The same message
comes up with other dll files as well. Did I miss something earlier in the
process?
