Microsoft Office Not Installed for Current User !!!!!!!!
Microsoft needs to address this issue with something other than the KB crap.
I administer a school computer system with over 200 computers, every one of them has XP with Office 2003, and every one of them has just started doing this error over the past month or two as I went around logging on as admin and letting the updates run (last time I do that again!). Also, each student has their own account that floats on the domain from computer to computer and I certainly am not going to do this for every user. Apparently MS caused this problem with one of these last updates, so MS needs to fix this problem with some other update - not having me uninstall every installation, modify the registry, then reinstall. Not to mention, our latest 2 mobile labs came with Office 2003 pre-installed with the Dell system disks, and no separate installation disks without doing a total restore. This is NOT AN OPTION for us. We are getting ready to purchase a new set of computers, and Apple Macs are looking very good to me right about now. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM IN SOME SANE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

This is a user to user support group, all volunteer responses and user
opinions. If you want to communicate with Microsoft directly, this isn't the place. Please try again in the proper venue, or rephrase the question remembering who you are addressing.

In my previous post under my email address i stated that i had a fix which i do.. i will also tell you how i did it, and it follows: Just remember that i am running windows XP machine with Office 2003. The way that I fixed it was to create a temp user account with admin privliages and then open all the office apps in that account. Once I had done that I just exported the office key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then logged off Then logged onto the other account and imported the reg key and it seemed to work for me.. give it a shot what have you got to loose. If this fix works for you please let me know… Cheers Peter -- Iggy2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Iggy2005's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=24600 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=703784 http://forums.techarena.in |
