Automatic Removal and Install

Hello,
I am trying to remove Office 2003 and install Office 2007 using startup
scripts through GP. The previous IT guy here set the 2003 installs using GP
to install under the user, not the machine, so using GP to upgrade isn't
going to work.
Here's the script I have so far:
REM Remove Office 2003 Install
msiexec /x {90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9} /qn
REM *********************************************************************
REM Environment customization begins here. Modify variables below.
REM *********************************************************************
REM Get ProductName from the Office product's core Setup.xml file.
set ProductName=ProPlus
REM Set DeployServer to a network-accessible location containing the Office
source files.
set DeployServer=\\dc3610b\Office2007\
REM Set ConfigFile to the configuration file to be used for deployment REM
(required)
set ConfigFile=\\dc3610b\Office2007\ProPlus.WW\config.xml
REM Set LogLocation to a central directory to collect log files.
set LogLocation=\\vinsystems02\Office12Logs
REM *********************************************************************
REM Deployment code begins here. Do not modify anything below this line.
REM *********************************************************************
IF NOT "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"=="" SET WOW6432NODE=WOW6432NODE\
reg query
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\%WOW6432NODE%Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\%ProductName%
if %errorlevel%==1 (goto DeployOffice) else (goto End)
REM If 1 returned, the product was not found. Run setup here.
:DeployOffice
start /wait %DeployServer%\setup.exe /config %ConfigFile%
echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >>
%LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
REM If 0 or other was returned, the product was found or another error
occurred. Do nothing.
:End
Endlocal
This script works perfectly if run while logged in (as an admin, of course).
However, when the computer is set to use the script as a startup script,
Office 2003 is not removed, but the icons for Office 2007 appear in Start
Menu-All Programs-Microsoft Office. Clicking on one of the icons makes
Office 2007 install.
What needs to be done to get this script to run correctly as a startup
script? What I really want it to do is remove Office 2003, then fully
install Office 2007 so the install doesn't try to run under the user account
when opening one of the Office programs.
