YuviSense: Codin Kid

With the RTM release of Office 2007, It was time for me to install it. But, there was just one single problem: There was no upgrade path from Office 2007 Beta 2 TR to RTM. I just figured, “No Problems, I’ll just uninstall it”.

No Problems, eh? I uninstalled it, but still no luck: Office 2007 RTM installer just kicked me out saying that I still have “Pre-release versions of Office installed”. Even after kicking me all the Registry Keys that said “Office” from the Registry hive, I still had no solution…

Drumroll please. In steps this Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Removes the Setup Information alone for just about any installed program. Saved me a ton of headaches…
