Hi can anybody help?
every time i start up windows installer tries to install office which is already installed and working fine. it happens everytime i start up and i have to cancel it

help much appreciated
thanks

hey

try this tool



http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301

find office in the list and remove it

BE CAREFUL - if you use that tool it will remove the software from your PC

Back to your problem - did you install as one user and then switch to another - If so logon as first user, run office to ensure it has finished installing. Then logon as second user let the install finish and hopefully you won't get asked again. There are a number of settings that are user dependant and have to be set up for each user.

Best wishes

This tool removes nothing but Windows Installer Issues. It has no effect on installed software.

SUMMARY
Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.

The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not:
• Remove Windows Installer.
• Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does:
• Provide a dialog box where you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer. You select the programs on the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
• Remove the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select.
If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.
