Hi all,
I have seen various old posts about the issue where deploying Office 2013 doesn't remove Office 2010 completely. It seems that you can only use some scripts or bat files to uninstall Office 2010 first before installing Office 2013. Is there no newer solution for this that isn't a workaround as yet? Something you can set in the Office 2013 OCT? I would prefer to not have to remove Office 2010 first as I would like the users current Office settings to be migrated with an upgrade. For example, I would like them to be able to keep their Outlook settings at least, the PST files locations, Outlook rules, signatures, etc.
If there isn't a better way I am also looking at this solution:

I would be coping the .vbs files into the Office 2013 network location and creating a .bat file with the following code:
:remove Microsoft Office 2007 suites cscript %~dp0offscrub07.vbs ALL /Quiet /NoCancel :remove Microsoft Office 2010 suites cscript %~dp0offscrub10.vbs ALL /Quiet /NoCancel :install Office 2013 setup.exe /adminfile admin.msp
*A note on using the Office scrub, it will also remove things like Project and Visio which you might like to keep so you need to use additional switches:
Usage: OffScrub07.vbs [List of config ProductIDs] [Options]
So for example, “OffScrub07.vbs ACCESS,STANDARD,VISSTD /S /Q /NoCancel” would uninstall Access 2007 Standalone, Office 2007 Standard, and Visio Standard 2007
Thanks
