SYMPTOMS

When you run Setup and select the Remove All option in Microsoft Office 97 or Microsoft Office version 7.0, the entries may not be removed from the Microsoft Windows 95 registry. Instead, the data values are changed to Value not set.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design of the Microsoft Office Setup program. The Microsoft Office components are unregistered; however, note that the registry tree entries remain intact.
