Office Apps re-configuring when launched

[emago02]

This is an old topic, but very frustrating. After Installing Office Home 2007
on Vista Home Premium, Word and excel want to setup and configure every time
they are launched. Also excel gives the STDOLE32.TLB message when launched. I
have tried installing as administrator, running the installer clean tool, not
sure where to go with this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Erick

Some of the solutions work for some of the office apps.

I'm in the same boat installing Office 2007 Pro Plus. Programs try to
configure everytime you open Word, Excel, etc. One thing I've discovered is
it has something to do with a previous office install. I've used two
computers, one that had office 2000 and one that had no previous office
install. I've use the same power user account on both computers and the
computer that had office 2000 on it prior to the office 2007 install has to
run the confoguration every time Word opens. The other computer does not have
the problem. Perhaps it is necessary to wipe the computer prior to Office
2007 install?

I am experiencing the same problem with co-install of Office 2003 and 2007 on
the same laptop running Vista Business as the o/s. Incidentally, the registry
tweak referenced in the second post did not repair the problem.

Should anyone find a fix, I would very much appreciate an email to
(e-mail address removed) . If I find a fix I will add to this thread.

Good Luck All,

John
