Microsoft Windows Installer
Removing Office removes the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI),
which may be required by other programs. If, after you remove Office, you need
to reinstall the Windows Installer, do either of the following:
| • | On the Office CD1, open the Msi folder and run either
Instmsi (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me> or Instmsiw (Windows NT 4.0
or Windows 2000). |
| • | Browse to the Microsoft Web site
http://www.msdn.microsoft.com (http://www.msdn.microsoft.com)
and search for Windows Installer. |

NOTE: After you complete the following steps, it may be necessary to
reinstall earlier versions of programs that use the shared components that
Microsoft Office uses. For example, to use any of the programs included with
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 or Microsoft Publisher, it may be necessary to
reinstall these programs before you can use them again.
To remove
Microsoft Office from your computer, follow these steps:
| 1. | On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. |
| 2. | Double-click Add/Remove Programs. In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Office 2000, and then click Add/Remove. If you installed Microsoft Office from a CD-ROM, you are
prompted to insert CD1. |
| 3. | In the Microsoft Office 2000 Maintenance Mode dialog box, click Remove Office. If you are prompted to restart the computer after Setup is
completed, restart the computer. |
| 4. | Using Windows Explorer, delete the following folders and
their subfolders.
NOTE: Before you delete the Microsoft Office folder, make sure that
you do not have other programs, such as Microsoft Project or Microsoft
Publisher, installed in the Microsoft Office folder. If you delete the
Microsoft Office folder, you may need to reinstall these programs.
NOTE: Deleting the Microsoft Office folder also deletes the Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart folder, which may contain personal files.
Ensure that all personal files are removed from this folder before deleting it.
Also, deleting the Microsoft Office folder deletes the Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Templates folder, which may contain personal templates. Ensure that all
personal files, including custom macros, are removed from this folder before
you delete it.
