Uninstall office 2007

1

i am trying to remove office 2007 with the reg key but it fails and office become unusable after and want repair with disk before i can try again. using this,

MsiExec.exe /X{90120000-002A-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE} /qn

You need to escape the first {

See this example: http://bigfix.me/fixlet/details/6072

It should be like this:

waithidden MsiExec.exe /X {{90120000-002A-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE} /qn

I’m not sure why it would become unusable after because it shouldn’t have done anything at all. Is this the correct GUID to uninstall?

well the extra { works but now it reboots doesn’t the /n stop the reboot

The /qn should stop a reboot, but sometimes extra properties are required to prevent the reboot.

I have tried it as waithidden msiexec.exe /x {{90120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /q /norestart and the computer still reboots

DId you try? :

msiexec.exe /X {{90120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /qn /norestart

Also it is possible that there is a property that is need as well, but I don’t know what it would be if there is, but it would be something like this:

msiexec.exe /X {{GUID_EXAMPLE} /qn /norestart RESTART=No
