Re: Unable to uninstall 2007

HI, I am in the same boat as Cindy P. I tried add or remove programs in the
control panel and nothing happens when I click remove. I followed the
instructions from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218. When I right click
on the installer and click uninstall I receive this message "Windows
Installer - preparing
to remove" but then an error "this patch package could not be removed..."
Not sure what to try next. Any help would be apppreciated.
thx

Hi, I tried this method and in the registry, it still won't let me
uninstall
Microsoft Office 2007. It gives me a message "Windows Installer -
preparing
to remove" but then an error "this patch package could not be removed..."
Help, I am getting nowhere fast. Cindy

I was running Office 2003 and decided to try the 2007 Beta. I installed
and
ran successfully, but when the beta was up I uninstalled and 2003 would
no
longer work. I tried to re-install twice and both times the
installation
of
2003 failed. So I checked Add/Remove and there is an instance of 2007
Beta
Pro but when I click uninstall it tells me that my computer does my
computer
does not support the package language. I tried to download and install
the
2007 Trial, but it won't install because it sees another instance(that
I
can't remove) and won't install.
