Error syspin64.exe when uninstalling FreeOffice 2024

Post by dshuhov »

I would like to share a solution to a problem when uninstalling Free Office 2024, in which the Syspin64.exe error appears.

Take MSI package.
Edit the CustomAction table using the Orca program.
Delete rows in the table:
UNPIN_TM_FROM_TASKBAR
UNPIN_PM_FROM_TASKBAR
UNPIN_PR_FROM_TASKBAR

And the error does not occur anymore.

I'm not having this problem but would you know a solution to uninstall Freeoffice when it keeps looking for the standard documents directory that no longer exists? It doesn't continue the uninstall because it fails to find the directory

Seems not to be the case. I downloaded and tried to install today, October 18, 2024 and got the same error.

That's because when you are installing the latest FreeOffice 2024 using the latest MSI, it is running the MSI of the old installed FreeOffice (which still has the problem) to perform the uninstall.

Again, ignore the error message. It does not do any harm.
