Old versions of Access Database Engine are not removed when specifying RemoveMSI. This can cause the install of Office 2019 to fail.

Thanks for the feedback/comment. I'm checking with the PM for RemoveMSI to get more details so we can update the article accordingly.

I have confirmation that the Access Database Engine redistributable isn't removed by RemoveMSI, so you'll have to uninstall it by using Control Panel. I'll update the article to make that clear. Thanks for your comment/feedback to help make the documentation better.

@asjimene -- I've updated the article with a bullet point about Access Database Engine redistributable (and Access Runtime as well, since that's different). Thanks again for your feedback.

I encountered this trouble (Access Database Engine 2010 not uninstalling), so I just added a Test-Path for the appropriate Registry key to my PS script. If found, it then runs the uninstall string. That did the trick quite easily.
