Why does the confiuration wizard run every time I start Word 2
"Well it just keeps getting better... I'm saving money on haircuts I assure you ! My installation of OXP is now doing the same thing with O2007 unistalled ! I cannot use either Office Suite without this issue." Anyone have any luck with this seeminly common problem? It may be easy for some to reinstall Vista but I have so many applications that would need to be installed, its just not feasible for me. I would rather not use Office at all than have to reinstall the entire operating system -- again! Anybody out there in Microsoft land have any answers to these beyond annoying issues? |

I have resolved the issue on my computer and am confident the following steps should do the same for others experiencing this problem. After quite a bit of messing around I was fairly sure that it the problem was due to a permissions issue in Vista. Checking the Event Viewer numerous times and seeing the references to registry keys that couldn't be accessed helped confirm this. Trying to alter the permissions on some of these keys I also noticed that nearly every Office relevant key would give an "access is denied" when attempting to open them. None of these keys had any permissions granted to them which struck me as strange. I attempted to replace all permissions in the HKCR folder but found regedit would either crash or return a failed message and the permissions would not be changed. I was now determined to have the access that I deserved as an administrator on my own computer !! SubInACL utility gave me the power I needed, and all permissions were changed and the configuration messages disappeared. It was probably overkill in assigning permissions to every key in the registry but I was unsure of what keys Office needed to access so I thought it best to alter them all (this may be a security concern to some so it might be worth coming up with a list of keys needed). To answer the question why it was necessary to gain back permission of these keys in the first place is beyond me, I'm not a programmer or developer but I hope someone who is can shed some light on the issue. Whether the problem lies with Vista or Office I don't know either. But anyway, onto the steps that are oh so important... use them at your own risk - I can't guarantee they'll work and you could possible do damage: - download and install SubInACL (download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ) - open notepad and paste in the following text cd /d "%programfiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f / grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f / grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f / grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f / grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f / grant=system=f - save in notepad as fix_office_permissions.cmd - double click the newly created file and allow to run (took about 5-10 mins on my system) To the best of my knowledge these are the only steps on the internet that deal specifically with this problem so I would love to know if they work for others... Cheers and best of luck all !!! |

Why does the confiuration wizard run every time I start Word 2
That was very helpful thank you very much I had almost given up, and was
about to downgrade to Office xp and never try 2007 again. I had the same problem and after examining my events numerous times I found that it had to be a registry problem, either a setting that was wrong or an access problem, then I tried to alter the rights and I also got some errors , well with your batch I finally got my office 2007 to work, thank you very much There was some minor errors after I ran the batch file, but a vista repair take care of them Here is my story with the ms support team I called MS support 3 weeks ago and they have called and emailed me about 5 - 10 times with all sorts of solutions, and every time I have told them that if they wanted to solve the issue it would be in a registry issue, then they called me on Friday and asked me to be patient as they needed to go through all the programs on my pc (I already send them a log of installed programs on my pc) and for the first time I lost my temper with them and told them that it had nothing what so ever to do with the programs on my pc, and again I told them to send my case to a office programmer team and forget about the usual fiddling around support and not to call me again until they had send my case to some ppl whit some knowledge on the matter, now I can’t wait to tell them what the solution is " wrote: On 15 May, 09:57, wrote: On 13 May, 02:01, Chad Garber wrote: "Well it just keeps getting better...

Cheers and best of luck all !!! And the final insult. When I am uninstalling this I get a popup from windows update. I only installed Word but it wants to download 7 updates of which only one is for Word. Others for programs that are not even installed. MS you guys are falling behind. ever since Steve took over the company is on its way down. |

Why does the confiuration wizard run every time I start Word 2
Lloyd, not sure if you're still interested, but today I stumbled
across something unusual that may just explain the reason the batch file didn't help you. I normally run Vista with User Account Control (UAC) turned off (no need for explanations I hope!!) but was required to turn it on to install a network printer - crazy Yes, but this is Microsoft's documented answer to a printer that won't install - but anyway, after enabling it I noticed the Office 2007 config screens again !!! I had all the exact errors that I originally had so I disabled UAC again and everything came good. So Lloyd I'm thinking that maybe you had UAC enabled when you tried running the batch file. I would recommend disabling it if this is the case (life will be much more pleasant then anyway) and trying again. I think we can assume that the whole issue is related to UAC and the restrictions if places on permissions... Cheers, Kim |

I am having the same problem. Will give your solution a try. This really
looks like a Microsoft design flaw.
