Hi,

In my laptop the old office had BIP Desktop 32bit.
Then with an update, the Add-on seemed to be disabled. I decided to remove and reinstall.

I noticed the new office 365 had 64 bit. But now when it starts to install I get the message :"Please uninstall the current version using Add or Remove Programs from the Control Panel."

The problem is that in the Control panel there are no options to remove. I tried to check some KMs to clean registry or delete folders but none of this helped.
Is there any utility to clean/remove the old version?

Thanks,

Priscila
