YvVall, Did you format the total hard drive or just the operating system partition, I removed all partitions including the recovery partition.

 

If you have Office 2013, you'll have to remove "Lync" as well - Lync = Skype.

 

Hello - Thanks for your prompt reply, my office 2013 is installed as "Office Click-to-Run". This install method doses not allow any options to change or remove any program modules. I cannot therefore remove Lync. I have 2 others PC's, it does not occur on the other PC's all have same office installed.

 

That's odd - I used to work with a One-Click version of Office 2010, and I could change it no problem - You will have to run the One-Click Installer, which should be mounted on drive "Q" or something? check in there.

 

Thanks again, The One Click installer does not give any options on 2013, you have to install all the programs by default.

 

Crap. What version of Office is it, standard?

 

It is Office 2013 Pro Plus

 

yah I got the same, but I can install all of it, or just word if I want. Odd.

 

I believe that if you install it the standard way NOT click to run you can remove some of the programs / features.

It depends on the suite – if you have a “click to run” installation you can’t uninstall lync/s4b, but if you have the MSI available to volume licenses and msdn subscribers, you can uninstall any of the applications.
C2R users (which is the vast majority) are limited to uninstall and repair unless their admin uses OCT to control what gets installed.

 

Yah I removed Click 2 run and installed it normally. I don't get click 2 run anyway, seems overly complicated, unless you are hosting the install for a network farm, 100 PCs or so.
