Uninstall MS Office/SQL

[mitchell]

Hi Can anyone please advise me in which order i should uninstall this software which comes pre installed on my Laptop as a trial version.

In particular MS SQL as in previous attempts i have landed up with a heck of a mess as in errors such as "cant uninstall because of missing files" due to me uninstallng the wrong ones first.

I am not to concerned about MS Office, mainly just MS SQL & any associated programs The items are listed as they appear in add/remove programs and none of them have been activated.

2007 Microsoft Office System
Activation assistant for Microsoft Office suite

Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007

Microsoft Office 2003 web components
Microsoft Office 2007 primary interop assemblies
Microsoft Office small business connectivity compo....
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server Native client
Microsoft SQL Server setup support files
Microsoft SQL Server VSS writer

Any help would be appreciated

Uninstall the MS SQL first. If you are uninstalling MS Office, and if you can't afford or don't prefer to purchase Office at a later date, you may wish to install OpenOffice. It's opensource (free) and will open Word and Excel files.
download: OpenOffice.org Downloads

Thank you for your response Lemur, I have MS Office on my desktop but i dont have any use for any of these on my laptop as i prefer to have OpenOffice on the off chance i have to open a document while not at home.
This still leaves the problem of which order to uninstall the four instances of Microft SQL, as in the past i have removed the wrong ones first which deleted files that were necessary to uninstall another properly
