Angry Installation/Uninstall Problems with Vista Home Basic
Hello everyone,

I currently am running Vista Home Basic. Awhile ago I installed Microsoft Office 2007, shortly after i had a error occuring where my mouse wouldn't work in Word. So like in XP i just went to the Program Files and deleted the program. Unfortunately I should have uninstalled the program through control panel.

The problem I am having now, is that i cannot install or uninstall Microsoft Office now. When I insert the cd it gives me a setup error, and the same message when i try to uninstall it. I've tried many different register cleaners, and different forms of UAC. I'm currently the admin on my computer ( even though that doesn't mean jack squat for Vista).

Is there anyway i can fix this problem? if so please help me!

System Restore from before the original installation.

Or try Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
