you can originally download the setups from the Office web site, and
once installed it can delet the old setup EXEs. To get proper Uninstall to work, you have to redownload the setup EXEs and run them again.

hi try this

1. Use Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>Disk Cleanup clear your Internet files and temp files.
2. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2 download file and note the folder/path location.
3. Create a new folder on your PC and note that folder/path location.
4. Use Start=>Run , and on a single line type in the following (using the path & file names from Step 2 & 3)and leaving out the brackets

"drive:\Step2PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.exe" /extract:"Step3path"

example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named ff2007ProB2CD1) the Start=>Run line would look like this
"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"C:\Off2007ProB2CD1"

If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes) then
a. Backup your files and shutdown all other running apps and utilities including antivirus.
b. Run setup from your new 2007 Office system folder you
created in the previous steps
Else, if the extraction doesn't succeed then the download may be damaged/corrupted.
Use Start=>Run and type %temp% and locate the Setup-xxxxx.log(file) just created and see if it has any clues on where the extraction failed.

Follow the below steps mention.

1. Right-click the folder that you are installing Office 2007 to. (i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office)

2. Click Properties.

3. Uncheck the Read Only box.

4. Click Advanced.

5. In Advanced Attributes, uncheck the Encrypt contents to secure data box.

6. Click OK, then click OK again.

7. Close all open windows and try to install Office 2007 again.

Hope so it may resolve your problem.

Seems like Office Setup isn't finding some of the required files to do the uninstall...

Place your .msp file inside the updates folder and no additional command lines will be required. This holds true for all MS 2007 products.

Uninstalling Office products without using Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista) is a bit complicated, but it can be done. You'll find full instructions for both Vista and XP in this Microsoft Article under the heading "More Information".
