Office Enterprise 2007+XP SP2+Office Setup launches all the time

[kikas]

My native language isn't English, so please forgive me my mistakes :$

I have a PC/s with XP Pro SP2 installed and 2 day's ago I replaced Office 2003 PRO with Office Enterprise 2007 (with SP1) in that/these machine/s. Now I got a problem: when regular user log's to that machine and opens any Office program or document - Office launches setup/configuration wizard...if it happened once, it would be OK, but it happens every time User opens any Office document/program (if user with administrator rights log's in - everything works OK...but it's not a good solution to promote regular user ;)).

Things I already tried:
* 3-4 times reinstalled/repaired Office 2007
* used Microsoft Office Diagnostic
* uninstalled Office 2007, then installed Office 2003 and uninstalled it right away (thought that maybe O2003 uninstallation corrupted somehow)
* ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
* used CCCleaner
* reinstalled Microsoft Installer 3.1
* tried that


...and still no progress. I don't want to reinstall OS - it's a solution but a bad one. Maybe someone has good solution to my problem...

TIA

Hi kikas,

For Office 2007 using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility isn't recommended by Microsoft due to the multiple .MSI file structure,
and CCleaner is generally not suggested for Office cleanup :)
The tool on Larmib is interesting, designed back in Win NT/98 days <g>. It's not one I've seen documented as something to use with
Office 2007 by Microsoft.


Do the user accounts have elevated privileges when you're installing?

Copy and paste each line once in run box and click ok ,

Do the user accounts have elevated privileges when you're installing?

I'm installing as Administrator...

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1

I'll try that ;)
