This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!! I am running out of memory,and am not being
allowed to do simple procedures because I have this overload of word on my
pc. I have tried uninstalling it 20 times today and it gives me a "fatal"
error message and then the 1721 bit....I have looked up er.1721 and it say
that it is a non administrtor message ( I.E. that I would have to be an
administrator to remove said program) .Well I am THE administrator and do not
like not having any control over implementing and removing programs as I see
fit.......What gives? Does anyone know a way around it? I am pulling my hair
out over this one ,and banging my head over and over again on the monitor is
not getting me a response so PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Lol Any help would be
greatly appreciated ,oh and could you e-maila response to me ?
(e-mail address removed) thanks! :)

"Error 1721 - There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

If you have the setup CD for Winword / Office package, try removing the Windows Installer information:
