Problem is I can't seem to remove Office XP with Front Page.

When I try with 'Add/Remove' I get 'The patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.'

I would like it removed b/c I have Off2010 installed & I think it may be interferring with it.
('Windows Istaller' keeps poping up and 'Preparing to Install' then nothing, except for more interruptions)

Otherwise things run fine.

I tried several suggestions so far including "Fix it", regedit, Revo, Windows Installer CLeanup Utility.


Any other solutions??

1: Download and run Microsoft Fixit 50123 from the following article:

How to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues (Microsoft article: 971187)

2: Repair or reinstall Microsoft Office

Hey LimeTree,

That worked! Thanks!

I had my doubts, b/c I did try a 'MS Fix It'
Must have been a different #.
