SUMMARY
You can remove Microsoft Office 2000 Suite editions and stand-alone Office programs remotely with Microsoft Systems Management Server or by other means. To remove a program or suite remotely, you need the product's globally unique identifier (GUID). This article lists the GUIDs for all Office 2000 suite editions and stand-alone Office programs.



MORE INFORMATION
Each Office Suite and stand-alone program has a globally unique identifier (GUID). There are two forms of GUIDs: uncompressed (or standard) and compressed. Compressed GUIDs are stored in the registry. You can use the uncompressed GUID to identify the suite or program to be removed when you are running the Windows Installer program.

Removing Programs or Suites
To remove a program or suite, run the following command with the appropriate product GUID

msiexec.exe /x {guid}

where GUID is the uncompressed GUID number inside braces.

For example, the following command removes Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition without any further user interaction:

msiexec.exe /x {00000409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7} /qn

If necessary, you can also create a log file during the removal. To do this, append the following to the end of the command line:

/l*v C:\uninstall.log
