Gremo Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I need to remove the ability to uninstall Office 2010 SP1. Is there anyway to install officesuite2010sp1-kb2460049-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe using a switch like "nobackup" , "nouninstall" or something like this? Thanks...

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) delete the uninstall entry from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete the corresponding MSI/MSP from the folder C:\Windows\Installer Edited June 30, 2011 by MagicAndre1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "safe" method? I mean if it's possible to apply future updates even if C:\Windows\Installer items are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think the msp is only accessed if you remove the Sp1. Updates have their own msp file. Try it out in a VM and let me know the result. I haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because it's listed under "Updates" in control panel... but i can't find the reg key. Do you know where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Do you use a 64Bit Windows and the 32Bit Office 2010? In this case look in the registry under the Wow6432Node hive. 32bit apps are listed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
