There is a bug in Microsoft Office 2010 SP2 released 22/7/2013 which results in the incomplete installation of some features even if they have been specifically excluded from the installation by the Office Customization Toolkit (OCT).
Without SP2, excluded features do not install. However if the SP2 msp files (specifically officesuiteww-x-none.msp) are put into the Updates folder, then the problem occurs. An SP2 install to the original release installation also exhibits the effect.
It can be particularly problematic because the Access application feature installs file associations but not a complete application. .accdb files appear to have associations but launching access results in the error
The publisher application feature MSPUB.EXE is also incorrectly installed when the feature is disabled in the OCT. This results in this error
The issue is discussed in the thread here:

Workarounds:
The features can be installed then uninstalled in Programs and Features which properly removes them.
