Last night I upgraded to Office 2010 RTM from MSDN.

I'm now trying to uninstall the Office Live Add-in that I used with Office 2007 as this functionality is built in to Office 2010.

When I run the uninstall from control panel I get the following message:

Microsoft Office Live Add-in cannot be installed because you do not have the right version of Microsoft Office installed on your computer

Google has pointed to 2 solutions, both of which are pretty useless:

Use the MS Windows Installer Cleanup - this is not good because all it does is remove the Installer entry from the registry, leaving all the installed files behind
Uninstall Office 2010, uninstall Add-in, reinstall Office 2010 - that is just ridiculous, but typical MS response

So, can I get this off my system without resorting to option 2?
