How To Downgrade Groove 2010 Back To 2007

If you receiving error like….

"Unable to downgrade data from version 13,0,0,0 to 12,4,0,0'
HRESULT: 0x80004005
Process: GROOVE.EXE (ID:5652 (0x00001614))
Thread ID: 5212 (0x0000145c)

Simply follow the steps below.

Start -> Run and type "regedit"

Locate for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Office" and delete the folder "14" (Denotes the version of Office 2010)

And

Just delete that entire folder ("Groove").  The names may be slightly different, like "AppData."

C:\Documents and Settings\<windows user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\Groove

Note: The folder "Local Settings" may hidden you should enable the hidden folder view to find the above folder. Restart not required

  3. Since I just wanted to downgrade the "Groove" product and not my entire Office 2010 suite, I performed the following:

    **PLEASE NOTE: These changes will clear all of your previous Groove Data on your local machine**

    1. Start > Run > Regedit
    2. As noted above, navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Office"
    3. Under 14.0 remove "Groove" (**Always be sure to backup your registry before making changes**)
    4. Run the "GrooveClean" utility
    a. Start > Run > CMD
    b. cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\
    c. grooveclean -all
    5. Open Groove and your initial config settings should start from scratch.

    Details:
    OS: Windows 8
    Background: I installed Office 2010 with SharePoint Workspace, didn't like it and uninstalled it. Then went to install Groove 2007. Was then presented with the error message:
    "Unable to downgrade data from version 13,0,0,0 to 12,4,0,0'
    HRESULT: 0x80004005
    Process: GROOVE.EXE (ID:5652 (0x00001614))
