Uninstall office from command line or batch file

[Macinslaw]

We are migrating 100 users from office 2002 (XP pro) to 2007. The GPO to uninstall Office XP first does not work and causes problems for the installer of 2007. So, I found an obscure little command line reference, but no instructions on how to use it and wondered if anyone here could assist me.

msiexec.exe /uninstall "d:\******" /qb

is supposed to be the command to uninstall office, however I do not know what the "d:\****" is supposed to represent. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to point to? The primary msi file is located on the server and all installations were placed in defaulted locations.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure how much help this'll give, but Microsoft has this page up about using msiexec.exe from the command line:

Thanks that is helpful. I had found another one on their site, but it was far from helpful. The only question I have now is what do I type in for the product or product code, and how do I find it?

Thanks.
