why won't my laptop work?
Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits

That doesn't make sense to me Garmanma, in KB290301 it specifically states:
Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions:
* Remove Windows Installer
* Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
Yet that is exactly what The guy, Rick Kingslan, from Microsoft said to do in that thread. One would think he would know since he writes the documents and help that comes with Office Communications Server - on media, web, and download.
So which is right?

I know
Microsoft has changed their stance on using it
Just last year they used to have disclaimers all over the place warning not to use the utility with MS Office products and now you read the same KB article and the warnings have been removed
