[mso] Re: Microsoft Office XP

The research I did on this points to it being a corrupt user profile....are
you using Windows XP by any chance?  If so, I find user profiles get corrupt
all the time. Here's a thread I saw in the Experts Exchange and it looks
like the suggestion to create a new user account fixed the problem:
______________________________________

Problem:

Way back when, I purchased a copy of MS Office XP. Everything worked dandy.
One day, I decided to install a thesaurus feature from the disk to Word. So
I did, however, now, all Microsoft Office and Studio .NET applications will
not run, but instead, load up almost entirely, then, generate an error
saying that such and such a program is not installed for the current user.

Recently, I purchased Visual Basic .NET. I installed that, (office wasn't
uninstalled yet...) and that generated the same error. However, I had
previously had Visual Basic 6, and that gave me no trouble, even after
re-installing it due to interface troubles.

Also, the wierdest part is that in my brother's non-administrator account,
everything works fine. I copied all th registry keys from his account, and
moved them to mine (just the office ones and VB.NET ones), and still no
result.

Yesterday, I un-installed Office and deleted all standard office registry
keys. Still doesn't work.

I am running XP Home, and am an administrator. My brother is a limited
account. The version of VB.NET I am installing is 2003.

Thanks

Hello - I am new to the group and have a question.  I keep getting a pop up
regarding Microsoft word which says " Microsoft word has not been installed
for the current user - Please run set up to install the application"  I have
uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Office several times and it doesn't
cure the problem.   I have two users on my computer word works for one but
stopped working on the other so now I have to access the word files by going
to the other user.  Has anyone run across this before.  Thanks so much.
