Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 uninstall script

Originally published 4 comments

Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 cannot start. The product license may be expired because you are using a pre-release or evaluation copy of the program, or the product key information may have been modified in your windows registry. Please run Setup to uninstall and then reinstall communicator.

For some reason, I installed a Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 version with limited license usage. I have not yet worked out why. I am looking for a workaround with others, but for now I am using a script to remove the client from all my virtual machines:

MsiExec.exe /X{3960D0B6-A437-4D16-B0CB-41F5941DA08F} /q

 

I will update this post when I have a workaround.

      Hi Mark,

      Yes. I installed correct version. There is MSDN/Volume Licensing version available. Another one which we both had problems

    What worked for me was going into the registry and doing a find on anything that says Office Communicator, then deleting it. Press F3 to find the next reference and delete each reference until you get to the end of the registry. Of course on multiple machines, would need a script.

    challenges. It was truly informative. Your website is very helpful.
