Vista & Office 2007 Error: "not been installed for the current user" "vernonedavis[ at ]gmail.com" <vernonedavis[ at ]gmail.com> 5/25/2007 9:32:43 PM I've got a problem similar to others, except this is official releases of Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Ultimate. When I attempt to execute Word, the Office configuration runs, then the dreaded "Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user" pops up every time I run Word and kills it immediately. I am the Administrator account. It worked when I initially installed it back in Jan. 2007. So there must be a rogue update that killed it. Anybody else seen this recently? Vernon.

Re: Vista & Office 2007 Error: "not been installed for the current user" "vernonedavis[ at ]gmail.com" <vernonedavis[ at ]gmail.com> 5/26/2007 6:38:05 AM I talked with Microsoft support. It was determined that upon installation of Office that: a) the owner of the Office app's was SYSTEM, not my administrator account, and b) the app's permissions were read-only for my administrator account. This also affected the shortcuts that are created in the All Programs section of the Start Menu. I had to go into the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office folder and modify permissions on each .EXE for the programs to operate. Then I replaced all the existing shortcuts. Something changed. They can't tell me what. At least it works. Vernon.
