I want to uninstall Office XP, but I can't.
Whether I go to Add/Remove Programs or try to do it via CCleaner, I just get a message saying: "The patch package could not be opened."
How can I get the damn thing off my computer?
Sure Delete 5.1.1 I've used it and it should work.
Most articles regarding that error message suggest the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
You could also insert the install CD and either reinstall, or repair installation if it gives the option to repair it.
