Uninstall
1.

2.

After installing the Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies as a part of the setup of a managed
code solution, you should not uninstall the redistributable. Doing so may remove the PIAs even if
another managed code solution which installed the Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies is
installed. Multiple installations of the Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies are not possible,
therefore, removing the redistributable will not take into account other managed code solutions
that are using the included PIAs. Removal of the Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies should
be an end user action from Control Panel/Add Remove Programs.
Uninstalling the Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies after uninstalling the .NET framework
will leave the PIAs on the hard disk in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
