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.

run the installer again on top... and select repair or reinstall

That does not work, nor does uninstalling/reinstalling, nor does the
Windows Install Cleanup Tool. Vernon.

perhaps there they will give you a better solution

You bet. It's permissions.

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.

Have you tried turning User Account Control (UAC) temporarily, then try
reinstalling Microsoft Office 2007, then reenable UAC?

I like to Take Ownership and grant myself Full Control permissions over large
branches of my C drive, like the folder Program Files. Make sure your
actions take effect for this folder and all subfolders and files. Then all
your programs will be under your control. If you want to allow other users
to have access to your programs, also grant them some control and Share
(Properties, Sharing, Advanced Sharing) your Program Files folder. This
tutorial will show you how to do this.

You receive a "Microsoft <Program_name> has not been installed for the current user" error message when you try to start an Office 2003 program or an Office XP program for the first time:

I'm sad to say that this very annoying problem wasn't fixed with the
stated solution.

I've deleted the Opa12.dat file, and still cannot run my office
applications, except if i choose "Run as administrator", so what then? I
have Vista x64 premium and office 2007 - help would be greatly
appreciated...

opa12.dat belongs with the Exchange Server and has nothing to do with Vista. Post your issue to the Exchange newsgroups

*That worked GREAT, thanks for posting it!!!!*

*It took me a while to find this though. I'm including the full error
message that I searched for in hopes that it'll be found faster next
time.*

"Microsoft Office Outlook has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to instal the application"

"Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to instal the application"

"Microsoft Office Excel has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to instal the application"

"Microsoft Office Access has not been installed for the current user.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

This has been driving me out of my mind. I think what caused it for
me was installing the latest version of the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility. My Office has never worked since.

Thank you again,

This problem was quite easy for me to solve, hopefully this solution
works for you.

If the first time you install windows office 2007, does it work
correctly.

If the answer is yes, read on.

Reinstall, and while it is working correctly Navigate to Office12.

1. Local Disk (C:)
2. Program Files
3. Common Files
4. Microsoft Shared
5. Office12

Right Click MSO.DLL,. Copy it, and paste into My Documents

As soon as you get the error message "not installed for the current
user"

Copy and paste the one in My Documents and overwrite the one now in
Office12.

That should solve your problem. If not, then I will post you my
MSO.DLL, which you can Copy, Paste, and overwrite your one in Office12.
(Because I know my one is tweaked to begin with, but I don't think that
is your problem)

The problem occurs because the program does not run as Administrator.
Sounds weird, but it is.

Try this,.

Right Click office shortcut, Click the compatibility tab, click run as
administrator at the bottom.

Click also in the compatibility tab the "show settings for all users"

Click run this program as administrator (You could of done this first)

Now try running the program. If the same error. Thenuse my earlier fix.

Disabling UAC worked for me too until Office 2007 SP! installed. The
problem came back.
