After doing some research yesterday, I attempted to free up some space on my
C Drive by deleting some log and some $Uninstall files. Plenty of sites said
this was safe, so I didn't think there would be a problem. At the time, Word
was open. After I was done, I restarted my computer.
But when I tried to open word, the blank document came up, but it was
immediately followed by an installation thing. Now, I don't have the CD, so I
can't reinstall, nor can I repair. And this same thing happens with all other
Office programs. After the failed installation, I get the error message about
the program not being installed for this user.
For the record, I have tried about every known solution to this error
message on the net. I'm pretty sure the key to the problem is a log file, but
I don't know which one or where it should go. I have one of those recovery
programs, so if I can learn the name soon enough, I might be able to retrieve
and restore it. Does anyone know anything about a log file that, if deleted,
could cause this problem?
