    Did you do anything "strange" like deleting the MS Office cahceh etc. beforehand?

    You could try Revo - or try a repair install and then try to uninstall.

    you could reinstall it, then uninstall it.

    You might try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, too...I haven't tried it since office 2003, but it solved some problems with that one.

    Okay um this is what i did
    I dled revo, uninstalled it, deleted registry keys and files it found leftover (which was pretty much everything) since the normal uninstaller didn't work. Ran ccleaner, cleaned the registry errors, ran windows installer cleanup. Did all those things.
    Then i tried reinstalling, but i got registry errors during the install. Did a system restore, (lol) to a few days ago and I'm trying again. But the problem is that it shows up on the uninstall list on windows 7 but doesnt show up on the list in revo anymore, plus clicking uninstall doesnt even do anything.
    Although it works fine but i just want to downgrade to office 2007 until the 2010 is officially released
