Unable to remove Outlook 2003

[Guest]

After installing Outlook 2007, I want to remove OL 2003. However, I cannot
find the CD. Add & REmove does not let me remove it without that.

Is there any way round this?

The installation of OL2007 will have removed OL2003 as only a single
instance of OL can be installed.
What makes you think OL2003 is still installed?

Thank you for your response. Shortly after installing OL2007, the system
offered to run a diagnostic survery, which reported that there are two
versions of Ol present, and that they conflict. OL2003 still shows in Add
Remove..

I do not know how much this matters. OL 2007 seems to be working OK.

Diagnostic survey? from or by what?

Were OL 2007 and OL2003 stand alone or part of Office?

Because OL2003 shows in Add /Remove doesnt neccessarily mean its still
installed

What is shown in the Program Files/Microsoft Office Folder?
OL 2003 will be under Office11, OL 2007 under Office12

You cannot, according to MS install two versions of OL.
Installing a later version leads to the earlier version being uninstalled /
replaced

Thank you again for replying. I had some of Office 97 installed just Word
and Excel, i think, but not Outlook. Then i got Oulook 2003 separately.

Then I installed Office 2007 Home and Student, but it does not include OL.
So then I bought OL 2007 separately and installed it a few days later.

In Program Files, Micosoft Office, there is Office11, which includes a file
Outlook.exe, 196,296 bytes.

In Office12 there is also Outlook.exe, 12,813,096 bytes. It does seem to
have grown a lot in 4 years.

After installing OL2007, as far as I remember I was automatically taken to
Office Online, which offered the diagnostic survey. I cannot remember the
exact details, but that is what drew my attention to the fact that OL2003 was
still there.
