Uninstall Office 2007 and Install Office 2013

I would like to have a script uninstall Office 2007 Pro and install Office 2013 Standard.  If I just do an Office 2013 upgrade, Access 2007 and some other programs still are on the computer, so that's why I'm uninstalling 2007 and then installing 2013.

I wrote a script to uninstall Office 2007 Pro - works great. I also added Office 2013 Standard in Distribution and this works.  Now, I'm trying to combine both of them.  It uninstalls 2007, says that Office 2013 was installed, but it wasn't.

I first copied the uninstall Office 2007 Pro script, renamed it, and modified it to include the installation of Office 2013.  Here is the script.  Please feel free to modify - I'm a newbie and may have other things that aren't necessary.  Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Thanks Phil! I do have the Office 2007 uninstall working, and the Office 2013 install working. I'm having problems running one after the other. - Janet 7 years ago
    • Hi Janet,
      personally you should keep the two as separate packages and try not to combine them. If you later have errors in the productive environment this makes finding them very difficult.
      Go for two "deployment" packages, one that cleanly de-installs the older office version, the other to install the "newer" version.
