WD: Mac Setup "Remove All" Leaves Some Files on the Hard Disk (120140)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q120140 SYMPTOMS
If you run the Word Setup installation maintenance program and choose
the Remove All button to uninstall Word for the Macintosh, Setup does not
remove all the installed files from your hard disk.
CAUSE
By design, Setup leaves the shared applications and files it installed in
your Microsoft folder. Setup also leaves system items such as fonts,
settings files, and the Registration Database.
Word Setup does not remove the items listed below from your hard disk when
you choose the Remove All installation option. (Setup installs all these
items if you run a Complete or Typical installation; if you run a Custom
installation, Setup installs only those items that relate to the features
you select.)
