Continually configuring Office 2007

[JohnB]

I installed Office 2007 Professinal full version after removing beta Office
2007 and upgrading from XP Pro to Vista Business. Every time I now initiate
an Office product the system kicks in with a "configuring Office 2007" screen
and then kicks off an install process. I've tried averything (including
uninstalling and re-installing Office 2007) -any ideas on where this might be
kicking off would be most appreciated

You need to either accept the license agreement while logged on as admin or install as admin.

Here is what solved this for me:

1. I noticed the following message in the event viewer:

Detection of product '{30120000-0026-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature
'AlwaysInstalled', component '{90120000-0026-0000-0000-00413F67CB5F}'
failed. The resource 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression
\Office12\ID_00026.DPC' does not exist.

2. I had installed Expression Beta at some point and uninstalled it
before installing Office 2007 RTM
3. I searched the registry for 30120000-0026-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE
(from the error message above) and removed all keys/values with that
string.
4. All Office apps launch perfectly now.
