Default 'please wait while windows configures...' message on vista

This process didn't help. All the problems I had before still exist. Any
other options?

There are many reasons this issue can happen, so your problem may not be
related to others that you have found.

It should be noted that the windows installer cleanup utility should not be
used with Office 2007 due to it's multi MSI architecture.


Please try this.

Uninstall office through add/remove programs.
Follow the steps listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us to
completly remove any orphaned reg keys and files.

Reinstall office.

Every time I launch Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, or Access (The whole
office 2007 suite except for Outlook) I get the message, "please wait while
windows configures microsoft office enterprise 2007" In Outlook I get the
same message anytime I send or receive an email. I find tons of posts about
this problem and no solutions. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling,
using the 'install clean up' tool, repairing, office diagnostics... nothing
fixes this. Now the file associations aren't even working. A .doc file
isn't even associated with Word anymore.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
