Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. CR Geissler <geissler[ at ]gmail.com> 11/13/2008 4:55:45 PM Hi, I am working as sole user (administrator) on Office 2003 Profesional (EN) under XP Professional. When trying to open Word I used to get the following warning (4 times): "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls." In order to solve this issue, I ran the Repair Wizard from the Office2003 Setup CD. Since, I am stuck with following error: "Microsoft [Program_name] has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application" I've found KB898512 which states that permissions should be changed in Opa11.dat in order to solve the issue, but it did not work for me. Reinstalling didn't work neither. The only temp solution I've found is by creating another user account under XP (Office works fine there), opening every office app under that login, then exporting the registry key values (described http://www.anypcinfo.com/MS_Office_Not_Installed_Fix.shtml), finally importing the registry values in the original user account. This works, but usually after about a week I have to do it all over again. I have uninstalled Office many times -- under various user accounts. Office works without any problems in any other user account I create, just not the one that I want to use. Does somebody have an idea for how I can get permanentely get rid of the "Microsoft office has not been installed for the current user" problem?

Re: Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. CR Geissler <geissler[ at ]gmail.com> 11/16/2008 9:03:37 PM Hi Peter, The problem isn't just with Word, it is with every Office product -- which is why I wrote the error message as ... "Microsoft [Program_name] has not been installed for the current user." This problem effects Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I will try that group.
