SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft Office Setup program in maintenance mode, and you click the Remove All button, some of the Office files are not removed from your computer.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Office Setup. Setup does not remove any files that may be used by other applications. To completely remove Microsoft Office, you must remove all of the files listed below. However, because some of the files may be shared you may need to reinstall other applications. In general, the following items are removed by Office Setup when you use the Remove All feature:
 * The Microsoft Office folder is removed, unless you have saved any personal files to folders inside the Microsoft Office folder. (Setup will not remove any of your personal data files.)


 * The Common Files folder (in the Program Files folder) is removed.


 * All files installed by Office Setup to the Microsoft Windows folder are removed.


 * Most of the Office entries in the Windows Registry are removed.

Setup does not remove files installed by Office to the Windows\System folder (where Windows is the folder to which you installed Microsoft Windows).



MORE INFORMATION
The following is a list of files installed by Office to the \Windows\System folder that are not removed by Setup:

  12520437.CPX 12520850.CPX CCAPI232.DLL CMDIALOG.VBX COMMTB32.DLL CTL3DV2.DLL CUECRD32.DLL DATAZAP.DLL DATZAP16.DLL DATZAP32.DLL DBNMPNTW.DLL DOCOBJ.DLL DRVSSRVR.HLP DS16GT.DLL DS32GT.DLL FFASTLOG.TXT FINDFAST.CPL HLP95EN.DLL MCI.VBX MSCPXL32.DLL MSGBLAST.VBX MSJETSQL.CNT MSJETSQL.HLP MSJETSQL.TLB MSJINT32.DLL MSJT3032.DLL MSJTER32.DLL MSO5ENU.DLL MSO95.DLL MSO95FX.DLL MSOLE2.VBX MSOTHUNK.DLL MSPX3032.DLL MSRD2X32.DLL MSROUTE.DLL MSTOOL32.DLL MSTX3032.DLL MSWNG300.DLL MSXB3032.DLL MSXL3032.DLL ODBC16GT.DLL ODBC32.DLL ODBC32GT.DLL ODBCAD32.EXE ODBCCP32.CPL ODBCCP32.DLL ODBCCR32.DLL ODBCINST.HLP ODBCINT.DLL ODBCJET.HLP ODBCJI32.DLL ODBCJT32.DLL ODBCJTNW.HLP ODBCTL32.DLL ODDBSE32.DLL ODEXL32.DLL ODFOX32.DLL ODPDX32.DLL ODTEXT32.DLL OPENENU.DLL PCDLIB32.DLL PICCLIP.VBX PICSTORE.DLL PUBDLG.DLL PUBOLE32.DLL SCP.DLL SCP32.DLL SDM.DLL SQLSRV32.DLL TTEMB32.DLL VAEN232.DLL VBA232.DLL VBA32.DLL VBAEN32.DLL VBAEN32.OLB VBAJET32.DLL VBAR2232.DLL VBOA300.DLL VBRUN300.DLL VEN2232.OLB VISX.EXE VISXUTIL.DLL WWINTL32.DLL XLCALL32.DLL

NOTE: In order to see these files listed in the \Windows\System folder, you must have the "Show all files" option selected in the View tab of the Options dialog box (in Windows Explorer, click Options on the View menu).

Depending on your specific configuration, some of the above files may be installed in the \Windows\System32 folder.

You may also need to remove the file DAO3032.DLL from the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO folder.

NOTE: In Windows 95, you may need to perform the following steps in order to see some of the files listed above:
 * 1) Double-click My Computer.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Options. Click the View tab.
 * 3) Click the Show All Files option button. Also, clear the "Hide MS-DOS file extensions for file types that are registered" checkbox. Click OK.

NOTE: If you install Microsoft Excel for Windows NT after performing a "Remove All" maintenance mode installation of Microsoft Office version 7.0, you receive the following error message when you run Microsoft Excel:

An error occurred initializing the VBA libraries (-25346)

This error message occurs because the Office Setup program does not remove all of the .DLL files installed by Office, and these .DLL files are not compatible with Microsoft Excel for Windows NT.
