Scroll down to the "Remove Previous Installations" part... It's actually default behavior for the setup program to remove previous versions of Office. It gets really hairy when you have multiple versions of Office on the same system, I ran into this trying to push out an Outlook 2003 package in a mixed Office 2000/2003 enviornment. It was hell... -----Original Message----- From: Myung Bang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 10:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Administrative uninstall of Published Apps I am wondering if there is a way to Administrative force uninstall of Published Apps. What I mean about this is I published Office 2003 and users installed it from Add/Remove programs (this was per user based). Now, I want to push out Office 2007 using SMS and it installs fine, but users who install 2003 from the Publised Apps, they still has Office 2003 icons. When they click those icons, Office 2003 is repairing itself. If they go to Add/Remove programs and remove Office 2003, then it will remove it cleanly. I have removed that Office 2003 published app from group policies, but left the option of let users use those software. Is there a way to install Office 2007 and administratively force removed published apps?
