Welcome to the joys of Office 2007 deployments with group policies.
Basically, the entire process is broken. Darren has written an article
in WindowsITPro magazine about deploying office 2k7 and the nice little
quirks MS has implemented. One of them being Office 2003 is not removed
when Office 2007 is installed.

Anand,

 

Why is Office 2003 still on there if you installed 2007? Did it not
upgrade the 2003 installation?

I had to write a script that ran MSIEXEC to uninstall previous versions
of Visio & Project, so it will probably be the same

Can you direct me to an article or 'how to' for the startup script ?

Was Office 2003 deployed using GP? If not, then the only thing you can
do is perhaps a startup script that calls the Office 2003 uninstall
command.

I have office 2007 deployed using group policy (computer settings).

However it does not uninstall Office 2003. Is there any way I can do
this 

uninstall via GPO ?
