Re: Add/Remove Program issue - Office2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thanks for the info. I appreciate the guidance.

I do have other identical PC's running the same version of XP-SP2 and
Office2003. Could I copy files from a "sister PC" and use those to replace
the missing or corupted files? If so, Would they be in the $NTUNINSTALL
folders in the Windows folder?

Thanks again!

If you have used disk cleanup programs, one of them may have deleted the

Office can be neither reinstalled, repaired or removed.

This happened to me with Office 2000. The only way around the problem was to
go back to a system image I created before I foolishly trusted the cleanup
program to do right by me.

Hello,

I'm having issues with Access. When I try to use it, it says it's
installing then the box disapears & nothing more happens. I try to run
install from the CD & same thing, nothing happens. I try to remove office
via add/remove programs, & you guessed it, nothing happens!

I know this involves office but also seems to be a general Windows issue
since it can't even be removed. I pasted the event log entry from trying
to
remove it. Is there a registry entry corrupted? Im trying not to have to
reload XP from scratch. There are MANY things installed here! Everything
was working fine until yesterday.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!!
