Cannot install 64-bit version of Visio due to Microsoft Office Single Image 2010

Question

I tried to install Visio on Windows 7, but I received the below error message.

You cannot install the 64-bit version of Office 2010 because you have 32-bit Office products installed. These 32-bit products are not supported with 64-bit installations:

             Microsoft Office Single Image 2010

If you want to install 64-bit Office 2010, you must uninstall all 32-bit Office products first, and then run setup.exe in the x64 folder. If you want to install 32-bit Office 2010, close this Setup program, and then either go to the x86 folder at the root of your CD or DVD and run setup.exe, or get the 32-bit Office 2010 from the same place you purchased 64-bit Office 2010.

I cannot find Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 in the programs list, so I tried to use Microsoft's Fix It to remove the software, but this doesn't resolve my issue.

The Uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 suites with Microsoft Fix it helped to resolve this issue.

@Ramhound As indicated in the question, I already tried to use Fix It (which is the suggested resolution in both the above links).

I linked to a different one. If that fails use the discontinued tool. You should use Uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 suites with Microsoft Fix it not the other Fixit
