If you got an error message that saying “this product installation has been corrupted. when trying to uninstall Office 2010 (beta), the tips that I found on Techgeekmore may help you.
There are two methods: Most probably the error is caused by a missing xml file from the Grove portion of the Office installation. However, if you haven’t installed Groove, there are other reasons also.
First method with Groove installed: To solve this issue, you will need a copy of your installation source / CD.
1 – Locate the Grove Folder on your installation Source / CD
2 – Copy the setup.xml from the groove folder, and paste it in C:Program Files – Common Files – Microsoft Shared – OFFICE14 – Office Setup Controller – Groove.en-us –
3 – Try to uninstall Office again
Second method without Grove Installed or without the Office Installation Source
Go to the Microsoft Support Page at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179/. Using the Microsoft Fix It function, you can solve your problem. The process helps you remove Office 2010 (also 2007) from your PC.
