Default How to uninstall Office 2007 Enterprise when Add/Remove fails?

Thanks again. I was aware of Fix for Error 1635 but hesitated to implement
resolution because (1) my OS system does not have Plus & I did not know what
it contains (I have Windows Professional w/sp2), & (2) I did not know whether
Uninstall Issue & Error 1635 were related. Now I see that MS no longer
supports Plus, and it appears my ver. of OS does not use it. So I'll try to
remove the damaged register key and not worry about Plus. Skeptical, but
since even university faculty lab personnel do not have a solution, I'll try
it.

In that case there does not appear to be any alternative but to remove the

Thank you. Tried to reinstall from original disc to same folder.
Process stopped with error message that said "Installed Stopped Due
to Error!" or words to that effect. I tried the reinstall several
times, even acquired a new disc; same problem. I have not tried to
reinstall in Safe Mode. Would this be an effective option?

BTW, do you have information on how to use the MS Uninstaller patch
safely?

Re-install it from the original program disc to the same folder, then
uninstall it.

I tried to re-install MS Office 2007 when Word failed to access
online help. Error message:
"The CLView cannot install the necessary files due to installer
error 1635." Other user advised me to uninstall then reinstall MS
office 2007, but encounter repeated failures for an Uninstall
option.
