Office Removal Wizard for your computer

When you upgrade versions of Microsoft Office, the Office Removal Wizard (Offcln.exe) removes unnecessary or obsolete components from previously installed versions of Office and related programs. A stand-alone version of the Office Removal Wizard is available as well, and is automatically installed on your computer when you install the Office Resource Kit.

You can use this tool to exert a detailed level of control over which files to remove and which to retain. For example, if you are upgrading applications in stages to a newer version of Office, you can use the Removal Wizard to remove previously installed versions of the specific applications you choose to upgrade.

The Office Removal Wizard can detect and remove Office 95, Office 97, Office 2000, and Office XP, as well as Microsoft Office Multilingual User Interface Packs (MUI Packs) and individual Office applications. A companion file list allows you to review and edit the detailed list of files that can be removed.

note:The Removal Wizard does not remove documents or other user files from the computer.
