Hi, guys! During installation of MS Office 2003 in ubuntu 8.04 through wine, a window popped up giving me an option to custom-install only the programs I wanted, like, Word, Excel, Access, Outlook. I only chose Word and Excel. However, when the installation ended, I ended up with ALL of the apps of Office. I tried to uninstall the unwanted apps without success. How do I remove the unwanted Office apps and keep only Word and Excel?

Can't Remove Unwanted Apps In MS Office '03 In Ubuntu - HELP
Re: Can't Remove Unwanted Apps In MS Office '03 In Ubuntu -
What version of Wine, and did it actually install all the programs, or just add menu items for them? I remember an older version of Wine (pre-1.0) once creating menu items for all the apps for me, though it only installed the ones I had chosen. But that problem was fixed some time ago.taurusx5 wrote:Hi, guys!

If it's just menu items, you can remove them yourself with your menu editor.
Re: Can't Remove Unwanted Apps In MS Office '03 In Ubuntu -
The version of Wine I'm using is 1.1.6, the most recent. And, to answer your second question, the apps were installed, not the menu items. What do you suggest I do now?dimesio wrote:What version of Wine, and did it actually install all the programs, or just add menu items for them?

Actually, there already appears to be a bug report, though it was originally for Office 2000: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6719
I've added a comment confirming that it also affects Office 2003.

dimesio, thanks for all your help. I'd like to know at this point since Wine can't uninstall certain MS Office apps that I don't want, do you think I can use Crossover? Can Crossover help me with this?dimesio wrote:Actually, there already appears to be a bug report, though it was originally for Office 2000: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6719

Dimesio, I forgot to mention that when I try to uninstall some MS Office apps trough Wine, I get an error message that says:dimesio wrote:Actually, there already appears to be a bug report, though it was originally for Office 2000: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6719

Installation ended prematurely because of an error.

Hi, dimesio. Thanks for the reply. I need to uninstall the uneeded apps (and just leave Word and Excel) because I don't want them to clutter my system.dimesio wrote:Wine's uninstaller doesn't work very well. I have no idea if Crossover will be better for this problem, but since they have a free trial, it can't hurt to try.
Is there a reason you need to uninstall the apps? They won't hurt anything just being there.
Also, do you think wine-doors can help me uninstall these individual apps? Do you know where I can download it?
And lastly, how can I uninstall Office entirely and Wine? I want to start over and install Office and Wine fresh.
