Office 2007 runs setup every time I open a product

R

Randy

Office 2007 used to work fine, but for the last 6 months or so,
every time I open any Office product, Outlook, Work, Excel, I get a Windows
Installer saying that it's preparing to install, then them message to wait
while Windows configures .

I've completely un-installed the Office suite and then re-installed it. I've
ried repairing it, along with everything else I can think of, but get the
same results.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Not quite sure what you mean. I tried running the Office 2007 repair.

Repair is different. Did you download any updates (usually released first
Tuesday of the month by Microsoft)?

Do you have other older Office products installed? You will get your message if
you do.

In Office 2007 the repair is called Office Diagnostics in the Help drop down
menu.

Hi Randy.

If you havn't solved your problem after reading the link from Mary Sauer,
here is some suggestions from Microsoft:
This is due to MSAccess, but I think it will influe on the other programs too.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914830/en-us
Notice, that in OF2007 the folder is ..\office12\
The other one was created to OF2000, but in my installation (OF2003) the
spoken keys were missing.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265194.

I made my installation go absolutely correct by importing a registryfile
from a well working copy on my laptop, as described in the first link.

Regards
