Like what tweak'e is saying what exactly are you trying to do???? Why do you want to uninstalled & reinstall office 2000???? Are they problems with it???? If so just use the repair options it is a whole lot easy

131720 2003-03-28 10:33:00 Corrupt installation or the installation has become corrupted

Do a manual removal of the MS Office folder - including disk 1
Backup the registry and then do a manual removal of all "Office" entries.
Reboot
Reinstall starting with Disk 1 and then do Disk 2
Check the installation after installing each disk and repeat if necessary.



Usually caused by a corrupt installation that appears fine.
Can also be caused by a corrupt installation of Windows.

131721 2003-03-28 11:36:00 sorry my bad. you can't uninstall office if you have removed windows ;-) (which can happen if office is installed on a seperate partition) tweak'e (174)
131722 2003-03-28 18:42:00 Hi,

Why don't you just put the 2nd CD into the cdrom and just click uninstall?? This CD only has a few programs; Publisher, Business Manager, Clipart and so forth...

Or just go to Microsoft Ofice Website and use the Microsoft Office Installer Clean up tool....

131723 2003-03-30 20:39:00 Thanks but been there done that
Have Windows 98 1st edition + Office 2000 professional.
Uninstalled disk 1 but could not uninstall 2.
Re Installed 1 successfully but on inserting 2 could neither repair or reinstall.
Program would start ie accept conditions but when I came to location it kept wanting to install in D drive(CD rom drive) rather than C drive. when clicked on browse computer would not respond so I could change location. I have repeated this exercise 3 times but same result.
The Office disk are genuine ones which I have the license for.

Any ideas?
Regards

Have Windows 98 1st edition + Office 2000 professional.
Originally both disks installed fine but then part of 2(publisher etc) got wiped in error.
Uninstalled 1 successfully and reinstalled fine.
Disk 2 would not uninstall message appeared saying no disk space as D was full. D is my DVD/CD rom drive( not a writer drive).
Disk 2 will load but I only get so far whether I ask for install or repair mode.
Get as far as license acceptance thence it indicates location to save is D. I click on browse to change location to C but computer will not action
Any ideas?
Thanks
