Not been installed for current user

I recently bought a new PC with Vista 64-bit. I couldn't get my Office
Professional 2007 programs to open, after a configuration stand by, the error
window said "Microsoft Office (program) has not been installed for current

problem with no good answers. I found the answer! Office is located in the
"Programs(x86) of the "computer". Open "Office12". Find the .exe for each
program, right click "properties". Under compatability tab, click "Show
settings for all users",check the box to "run as administrator", apply and
ok; then, in the security tab, click "Edit...". Click on each user (and
group) name and make sure there is a check in "Allow" "Full Control". When
opened Exel for the first time, it asked for the PID. I entered mine and it
worked. All other programs worked after setting up for first time.

Bobby,

You seem to be the only person that has tackled this "current user" problem
with any results. However, I am running XP sp3. I tried your fix, but in XP
these controls are listed under Security, not Compatibility. I changed
everything to "Full control" to no avail. I still get the message "not been
installed...." and the application shuts down. Could you be of anymore
assistance for the XP solution to the Office 2007 issue.

I ran XP while Vista was still in the debugging stage, until about a year
ago; but at the time XP didn't have the SP3 yet, I ran SP2. I never had the
problem in XP. We have been talking about a Vista 64-bit problem up to this
point. But, if I remember correctly in XP, there is a "Compatibility mode";
I'm not sure now, but I think it was in the individual program "properties"
command. I do know, in XP, nobody advises a common "Run as Administrator",
and any time I had to run as administrator, I did it from the "Run" in the
start menu. I'm sorry I can't be of any more assistance to you.
