Office Communicator 2007 install error.

[chief123]

We have an issue with Communicator not installing properly. Everytime the
user tries to launch Communicator, he gets - “Cannot start Communicator until
setup is complete. Restart your computer to complete setup, and then start
Communicatorâ€

No number of reboots, or uninstall/reinstall, corret the problem. Any ideas
on what could be hanging this up?

Chief,

What operating system? If Windows XP, you might want to install Windows
Installer 3.1.

 

[chief123]

Windows XP and Windows Installer 3.1 is installed. We just upgraded to Office
2007 a bit ago. However, he was having this error prior to upgrading.

Thanks!

I too got the error 'Cannont start Communicator until setup is complete. Restart your computer to complete setup and then start Communicator.' I found a registry key to delete that will solve this issue (or at least it did for me). HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Communicator; Under Communicator, you will find a key/value labeled "ComputerRebootPending". If you delete that key, it will allow Communicator to start without failing. I hope this helps!

Enjoy!
Joe
