Hi there. Im trying to remove Microsoft Office 2007 and 2008 from my older
(an antique really) desktop comp. Why there are two versions is anyones guess
at this point. Everytime I try to remove it I get an error saying the files
are corrupt and it simply will not remove. Ive even tried to manually remove
it using the instructions Microsoft provided with no success. I also tried
the Revo uninstaller and that didnt help. I have no idea why its doing this
but it really has to go. I remember using a removal tool once in the past for
my Cousin but I cant seem to find a link to it anywhere online. Does anyone
have the link to the removal tool? Thanks very much.

Are you sure about this? Office 2008 is a Mac version - it won't install
on a Windows PC.

To detect and repair problems that may be interfering with an uninstall,
go to Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office 2007 and choose to
repair the installation. I don't know what to tell you about Office
2008, since that's not for PCs.

If the installer doesn't work even after a repair, and manual uninstall
directions do not work, the only way to remove Office to to erase your
hard disk and reinstall all your software (minus Office, natch.) I would
not try to manually uninstall Office on my own. The program is just to big.
