Microsoft Office Basic 2007 Full Installation
The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box. Use the line with Office 11.0 if you have Office 2003 installed and Office 12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed. You can use both if you have both installed: reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 That is it. Office 2007 might want to have one more spin round the block with it's configuration dialog box, but that should be it. I'm not sure if this fix will work with Windows 7, but I know it works with XP & Vista. Hope this helps. I didn't see any error regarding MS Office in the Event Viewer, and sure enough, your procedure didn't seem to work for me.

I'm running the Win7 Enterprise Trial right now, and it seems that for all the Win7 releases so far, the easiest way to get Office to work again is to rename the setup file as something else, so the reconfiguration process isn't even started. The one disadvantage of this is that you cannot uninstall the program before renaming the file back to the original name, but people rarely uninstall it anyways. Updates continue to work, but after Service Pack updates for Office, the setup file seems to be restored, so the procedure would have to be redone after another Office service pack is installed. To find the setup file involved in this mess, go to the following location (for x86 computers): C: Program Files Common Files microsoft shared OFFICE12 Office Setup Controller Or, for x64 computers: C: Program Files (x86) Common Files microsoft shared OFFICE12 Office Setup Controller Next, simply rename SETUP.EXE. I made it NOSETUP.exe just for laughs. This procedure has worked for me every time without fail, so hopefully it will work for others as well. I would suggest running as administrator (after uninstall and restart), but that didn't help me (for Vista Home 32bit and Office 2007 Enterprise).
There used to be a version of Office (2007 Student) on this computer, which may be part of the problem: when there are a few install traces lingering around (which may not be removed by uninstall or registry entries may be missed (when using a reg cleaner or looking around manually)). Once installed, I even tried running Word (as an example) as administrator, but didn't help. Nor did creating a new profile and running Word (as an example). I'm thinking about clean slate.tried the repair function (in 'uninstall or change program' control panel) and rebooted, but that didn't help. Found an article about conflicting office versions, which suggested adding DWORD key 'NoReReg' with a value of '1' inside HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options. Now the configuration is a whole lot faster: one quick status bar and not another window then loading for a long time).
BUT, I wasn't happy with just that (albeit faster), so I found a similar issue on the web and followed that suggestion: delete any current shortcuts (including the one in the Start button) and re-create the shortcuts (from C: Program Files Microsoft Office Office 12), which.TOTALLY. fixed my problem. Now Word (as an example) starts right up (i.e. No nasty long wait while it configures itselft for the Nth time)! Have you received any answers yet? I contacted tech support via e-mail. The first response didn't fix the probelm, either; although nothing was mentioned about the pip key by tech support.
They had me uninstall, clean, and remove folders in CURRENT USER and LOCAL MACHINE. I Read another suport page where someone suggested using a program called 'RegCure'. Downloaded and installed it, but, you have to pay for the full version. I would gladly pay, but as Microsoft is having trouble with this, I don't know that a 3rd party program would fix it either. I'm waiting for tech support to respond a 2nd time. Was hoping that you have an answer. I am getting the exact same message.
Evey time I open the first message, open or copy a contact, or close Outlook 2007 it opens the 'Configuration Progress' window and asks to restart when it's done. I have clicked yes on the prompt two times now and it continues to happen. Now I click No and continue. Word and Excel do not have this issue for me, only Outlook. So far, every forum thread I have read about this issue has not been resolved and the earliest thread I found started in January 2008. Microsoft help us!

Reg: 'Windows installer runs every time I try to open any Office (word, excel, Power Point, etc) application' I am running Vista with Office XP (2007). I tried all the solutions provided in both the Microsoft support page (see this link:and other tech forums. Nothing worked and it was driving me crazy until I saw someone suggest to remove the shortcuts on the start menu and copy new ones from the Office 12 folder.
I thought I'd share here for those still frustrated with this annoyance: Go to the folder that contains all the Start Menu program shortcuts: C: ProgramData Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs Open the Microsoft Office folder and select all the Microsoft application shortcuts. Right click and delete. Leave this window open Open the Microsoft Office folder on another window: C: Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 Select the.EXE icons for all the Office applications and right click. Select 'copy' Go to the open window with the Microsoft Office Start Menu foler.
Right click and select 'Paste Shortcut'. If you desire, rename each shortcut.
You are done! Hopefully this should work. I suggest trying this first, before attempting any of the other solutions suggested by Microsoft which require you to mess with the Registry and what not. Hope this helps Lina.

MAZENS's WAY SOLVED IT Thanks Mazen, nice move, it has worked out, The rest is for 'still-learners' like me, please follow the following:) Start Menu-Control Panel-AdministrativeTools-EventViewer (Hurray, we have the so called found event viewer) Then hit 'Application', which brings Type, Date, time, source bla bla window in which the events are listed. I started reading them one by one. Once you hit a line (information), 'event properties ' window opens. You can see that there are arrow buttons to scroll down and up among the events. And there is the 'description' part in the same window.
While scrolling thru all messages (information lines), I came across the follwing messages in the 'description' section: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ServiceLayer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started. Another event's description was: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( gupdate1c99657ceb0c142 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.
The following information is part of the event: Service stopped. As you may have recognized message mentions about 'Event ID ( 0 )'.
So I followed Mazen's directions and replicated ID00030.DPC and renamed the replica as ID00000.DPC Now it is working without any configuration pop up. By the way, before creating ID00000.DPC, I had already tried ID00011.DPC and ID00051.DPC. Now I have four.dpc files (0,30,11,51) in C: Program Files Microsoft Office Office12 As Office2007 application is starting fast now, I don't bother about them (i guess/hope it is ok). Yeah, well been there done that before and it is a real pain to reinstall everything and shouldn't be necessary just to get rid of this problem that as I can see has not only been a daily annoying time consuming problem for me, it has been for everyone. I am running Vista Home Premium, have tried all kinds of recommended fixes and nothing seems to work! I began with basic software on my computer, but because I am used to working with Microsoft Office Professional at work, have had earlier versions with all the bells and whistles I had to have at least 2007 installed. I found what I thought was a great deal on Office Professional 2007 onliine, purchased, installed it, enjoyed it for a while until I went online and did an online genuine Microsoft scan and learned it was considered counterfeit.
I did want was required.uninstalled and returned the program, weeks later recieved a genuine copy from Microsoft, installed it and since have had this configuration eat up time each time I start my computer! I tried the above recipes and they have not worked for me, but as others have noted.glad it has worked for you! Appreciate the dialog! The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box. Use the line with Office 11.0 if you have Office 2003 installed and Office 12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed.
You can use both if you have both installed: reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 That is it. Office 2007 might want to have one more spin round the block with it's configuration dialog box, but that should be it. I'm not sure if this fix will work with Windows 7, but I know it works with XP & Vista. Hope this helps. Hello and Happy New Year to All, Well,I have MS Windows XP SP2 and I have tried the solutions what have been proposed here so far and in the end I had unsatisfying results as a whole unfortunately. The best is to clean remove the MS Office 2007 with the registry entries and then re-setup as explained in the following: Go here and download Remove Office 2007 software in order to Strip out Microsoft Office 2007 totally when the standard uninstall process wont work efficiently!
Re-start the PC and then re-install the Office 2007. That absolutely helped me and suppose that is the best way to do in this particular case. Fondly, Guven. Your suggestion worked just fine! My problem showed up only in Word 2007, with a fresh installation of Office 2007 on a new Windows 7 computer.
I tried to uninstall, clean the registry with several options I found in forums, uninstall previous versions of office products (such as Project 2003), and reinstall Office 2007 to no avail. Until I found your simple modification to the registry. Adding a DWORD key 'NoReReg' with a value of '1' inside HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options solved the problem.
I don't even see the quick status bar you mention, and now Word opens at exactly the same speed of the other Office products. Thanks a lot for solving this 'old' problem. Thanks S Hunter!! Deleted the shortcuts as suggested and copied from my office 11 folder (office 12 folder only had access 2007 - which was the only component I had installed since it was the only thing I needed for 2007 - we run Access 2007 DB at work, so I only bought the access 2007 upgrade).
Anywho, it WORKED!!!!! No more annoying access 2007 installer pop up on my Outlook 2003!
Now, I've just tried this and it seems to be working fine now. Hope I haven't spoken too soon.lol. Will write back if it does it again, but crossing my fingers that all is fixed! This worked perfectly for me. Start Menu. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
In the left pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Installer. On the Edit menu, click Permissions. In the permissions for Installer dialog box, click Administrators in the Group or user names list, and then make sure that the Full Control permission is set for the Administrators group. If this permission is not set, click to select the Full Control check box under Allow. Repeat steps 5 through 6 for the SYSTEM group.

Repeat steps 5 through 6 for the Everyone group. Verify that only the Read permission is set for the Everyone group. If this permission is not set, click to select the Read check box under Allow. Repeat steps 4 through 8 for the following registry subkeys:. HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Installer Compo.
HKEYCLASSESROOT. HKEYCLASSESROOT.pip. HKEYCLASSESROOT Installer. HKEYCLASSESROOT Installer Components. HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Classes. I didn't see any error regarding MS Office in the Event Viewer, and sure enough, your procedure didn't seem to work for me.

This procedure has worked for me every time without fail, so hopefully it will work for others as well.V This one worked for me - thanks so much - a night and a day wasted, but happy now:-). After struggling with this for a few years now, first raised while running both Office11 and Office12 on same machine at school, I have the following.
The adding of key NoReReg to Office11 and Office12 registry entries (see above) worked for a long time. After installing Office 2007 Pro on a newly cleaned machine (setting up Windows again!) the installer refuses to go away. The NoReReg worked for Word component. Setting shortcut with /s worked for Excel. Powerpoint just worked as normal anyway. Access still wants to run product configuration though.
When it finishes, reporting successful install, Access runs okay. This is still a pain. Actually, I can canel the config/install by Cancel in the dialog box and Event Viewer reports unsuccessful install, but application still works. I wonder now if Excel will save and function properly running in safe mode. What a world.

Hope this helps. Your solution worked absolutely perfectly after a system reboot. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and it solved the problem.
To future posters, I used 12.0 running 07'. None of the above solutions worked for me. But while studying event viewer after saved word documents were not opening, I found from event viewer that mfc.dll file was missing and I guess this file is related to visual basics. I downloaded the file and took ownership and copied to required folder as per file path shown by event viewer. Now not only saved documents open but as a great relief, Outlook has stopped configuring every time and is normal and working fine. I suppose the basic problem lies somewhere with visual basics. It was event ID related to opening word file which gave correct direction to me whereas the ID related to Outlook was not so specific and action from word event id solved problem for all applications including Outlook.
Instead of taking and trying so many tricks and tips as suggested here, it is advisable to take appropriate step with regard to Event Viewer message, particularly related to Event ID found after opening saved word document as there seems to be more than one reason for the error. Many have suggested many solutions to the Configuration Process delay in opening Word. The following works great for me using Win 7 and Word 2007 & 2010. In Computer (Start + E) go to the following location (do not use the folder Program Files (x86): C: Program Files Common Files microsoft shared Office12 Office Setup Controller. In this last folder, find a rename the file: setup.exe to something like setup1.exe, press Enter. Do the same as above for Office 14 (2010) except replace the folder Office12 with Office 14 and I renamed this setup.exe to setup2.exe.
I only found one 'install' required for Access 2010 but then next time I opened it, there were no problems. Other programs work flawlessly side by side (Excel, PPT, etc). The one disadvantage of this is that you cannot uninstall the program(s) before renaming the file back to its original name i.e. Keep these instructions in a safe place in case you ever want to uninstall.
Good luck and I hope it works as well for you. You're also avoiding playing with the Registry which is a scary proposition for some. The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box.

I was having the reconfigure problem but just with Access 2007, this also with a thin client install of Access 2003. Even if I renamed the setup.exe file it would only partially cure the problem as a starting installation box would begin the usual process for a 10-20 seconds.
With the following registry entry I can have the setup.exe file with its original name and I get no error or setup messages. As always, back-up your registry if you don't want to have regrets. HKEYCLASSESROOT Access.Application CurVer @='Access.Application.12' Hey it worked for me. I installed MS Office 2007 on my new laptop and had the same problem.
Each time I started an application (Word, Excel, Power Point, etc), I would have to wait for the program to configure itself. After reading many fixes on this blog, they all seemed too complicated so I experimented myself and it worked like a charm. The problem is that most laptops and PCs come with a trial version of MS Office 2010 and that is what is causing the problem.
Go to Control Panel - add or remove programs. DELETE MS Office 2010 and all its components. Your MS Office 2007 will then start right up without any problems. After a week and a half researching this and trying so many things, including registry tweaks, I stumbled across a logical fix on another forum that worked for me, and hope I can save others some time and frustration. Go to the folder where the 'setup.exe' file is.
It'll be in either 'Program files' or 'Program Files (x86) 2. Keep going until you get to the OFFICE12 folder, and you'll eventually find the 'setup.exe' file. This would probably work for Office 2010 if the same issue exists there too (but in the OFFICE14 folder). You've already installed the program, and hopefully have the original zip file you downloaded or the original CD, so the worst that can happen here is a re-install, and it already doesn't work properly, so there's no down side here. If you need to, make a copy of your original download file. Plus, you've already used the setup file; you don't need it to run any of the Office programs.
Rename the 'setup.exe' file 'setup.old.' I almost fell over when I opened Word and Excel without waiting.
The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box. Use the line with Office 11.0 if you have Office 2003 installed and Office 12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed.

It also worked for me on Windows 8. Thanks a lot. Hello I read this thread with interest as Ive been trying to resolve the launch of the installer wizard every time we launch Office Home and Student 2007 or double click a document on my daughters Dell computer.
Asphalt 5 hd android. I tried every suggestion I could find including kb 928218 and couldn't solve it. Today I tried the reinstalled package before applying the fixes suggested in Windows Update, and it works fine!
Previously, I gone straight into the updates after installing. If I now install the updates, the installer wizard is back. I suspect that SP3 will be the culprit as its the main update available. Im not absolutely sure, but I think that we haven't applied the earlier service packs and I wondered if that might be the problem. I wonder what we will be missing if I don't apply SP3? The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box.
Use the line with Office 11.0 if you have Office 2003 installed and Office 12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed. You can use both if you have both installed: reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 That is it.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and it solved the problem.
To future posters, I used 12.0 running 07' It worked with me too on Windows XP. Thanks - UGW. I tried UpaliW's suggestion of running the following commands (I did both): reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 At the same time, I also followed another suggestion, which was to delete any earlier versions which may be conflicting with Word 2007. I deleted Word 2003, as well as some older free Microsoft 'Viewers' to view Office or Word documents. I then rebooted, and now I'm able to open Word 2007 right away, using any of the shortcuts I had created anywhere on my computer, without the configuration window opening any more before the main Word program screen opened.
I don't know which solution worked - the running of the commands or the deletion of older programs - but it doesn't matter to me since at least the problem is solved. The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box.

You can use both if you have both installed: reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 reg add HKCU Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Options /v NoReReg /t REGDWORD /d 1 That is it.
Office 2007 might want to have one more spin round the block with it's configuration dialog box, but that should be it. I'm not sure if this fix will work with Windows 7, but I know it works with XP & Vista. Hope this helps.
