Did you try to remove the Office Directory manualy after uninstalling office?



>I've run into a problem installing Office that has me stumped.
>
>1. We have a new computer that came with Win 98 and a Word 2000 CD.
>2. Partway into the Word 2000 installation, the CD could not be read and the installation failed.
>3. Word 2000 was removed using Add/Remove Programs. It says it is gone.
>4. Word 97 and Excel 97 were installed from our Office 97 Business Pack CD. It reports succesful installation.
>5. Excel runs fine, but when we try to run Word, it displays an error message telling us Word must be completely installed to run.
>

>We have:
> - uninstalled and reinstalled Office 97.
> - Checked the Windows 98 system files for leftovers from setup routines
> - Searched for and removed references to Word and winword from the registry.
>
>Any suggestions will be appreciated!
