Hello,
I have on my machine a version of office 2010, I am trying to unistall it and install a different version of office, when trying to uninstall the application from the control panel I get the following message :

This 64-bit product may not be installed with Microsoft Office Click-to-Run. Remove Microsoft Office Click-to-Run and try again.

Now on my machine there is nothing that is an office click to run except for a Q drive that is protected, and I cannot edit or format it, when trying to I geet a message about not having rights to do so, although I am an administrator. the problem here is that I do not have Microsoft Office Click-To-Run 2010

under programs and features. so I cannot uninstall it.

I went to this link : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

I tried the fix it app, I got this message:

---------------------------
Click-to-Run Application Manager
---------------------------
The action cannot be completed. Try the action again. If the problem continues, contact Microsoft Product Support.
---------------------------
OK

I am having the same problem. idk what to do.

I tried that but does not work from the control panel.

If Click-to-run is not installed, and only the label on the Q drive remains, you can remove the label easily enough. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons in the registry, where you will find a subkey named Q that has another subkey whose default value is Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (Protected). Delete the key named Q then reboot. On my machine Q was also listed in the Device Manager under Disk Drives and labled as Generic - SD/MMC USB Device (confirmed it was Q by checking Properties>Volumes tab>Populate), which I also uninstalled prior to reboot - the device will re-install after reboot without the click-to-run label.

Here is the tool to remove the Click-2-Run App-V virtual drive, and also the tool to completely remove the Office installations from your computer without re-installing or restoring Windows to a previous date.

These files are located on my SkyDrive account:
http://sdrv.ms/11hV2PR

This download is comprised of several tools to remove the latest versions of Microsoft Office and the App-V virtual drives.

Run the offcln.exe tool to delete all traces of Office,
then reboot,
and run the CleanC2R.exe tool to delete the virtual drive Q and R from your system.
A second reboot will be required.

This package also includes the msizap.exe tool and the oclncore.opc resource files.

thanks. above solution worked after trying to edit registry and removing from Programmes and features. Well done. thanks mate

I know it's been afew years since this post but after searching many articles from microsoft and others I used your file and in less than half the time it's gone and all is running great.

I used it on a win7 x64 and it worked great, so Thank you very much!
