Unfortunately, it only wiped 20, but luckily, it’s a vbs file and therefore editable.Īfter removing all 20 applications from control panel, I ran the 2007 utility, which found and removed lots of stuff.

Uninstalling and reinstalling (multiple times) didn’t help at all. It helped me with OneNote and Outlook, but Word and Excel were still problems. I did have the registry permissions problem with HKEY_CLASSES, and walked through the solution outlined here. This problem, as it turns out is not new, and there are unfortunately many possible causes, and as many solutions.

Yesterday I got a message saying that it was going to expire in 2 days. I had been running the beta version, and had updated it to the RTM version available on MSDN. I’ve just made it through a pretty nasty problem with Office.
