I've tried everything. It's quite possibly the most annoying problem I have ever experienced with my own PC. I have never installed a previous version of Office on this computer, nor have I run Office beta on it. Microsoft screwed -something- up -badly- here. If -anyone- has any idea what to do, please, please, -please- let us know. Edit: The information at this link seems to pertain to our situation as well.
Perhaps it is not unique to Office Well Steve, I'm sorry to say I actually took comfort in reading your words!! I thought I was one of very few who was still battling at this I found a few relevant links to the problem but everything led to a dead-end. I agree with your statement "quite possibly the most annoying problem" you've experienced.
Never have I spent so much time trying to work out an issue like this. I would have been much better off re-installing Vista as someone else did to resolve the issue but considering the amount of time I've spent now attempting to fix this makes that a very horrible though on principle alone!! Let's hope this is the start of a movement and we can grow our hair back and live in peace :- Yes, I am indeed very emotional about this if you couldn't already tell ;-.
I followed your steps Patrick but when I get to step 3 the registry key does not exist Nonetheless, I did the following: - reregister MSIEXEC - uninstall O - complete manual removal steps - run Windows Installer Clean-up Utility just for insurance - nothing office related was listed though - complete hdd and registry search for "office" related data and deleted accordingly - disable AVG Internet Security and disable internet - reinstall O After the reinstall the behaviour was still no different This still made no difference I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I have been seeing the following message when opening Outlook - " 'microsoft vba for outlook add-in' is not a valid Office add-in.
I may be way off track here, but is it possible that another program is interfering with the installation or running of O? I'm racking my brain trying to think of what programs or drivers I've been installing since receiving the installer messages Its been a few days without any much activity here so I'm guessing the problem still is isolated in a sense? I was hoping that googling might have yielded some more results by now but no such luck Regards all, Kim. Patrick, it is 32bit Windows Vista Ultimate I am logged in as an administrator yet there are numerous keys to which "access is denied".
I havthe e tried taking ownership of the HKCR folder and replacing all subkey permissions but this didn't work either Well a serious amount of hard work and peserverance has paid off I have resolved the issue on my computer and am confident the following steps should do the same for others experiencing this problem.
After quite a bit of messing around I was fairly sure that it the problem was due to a permissions issue in Vista. Checking the Event Viewer numerous times and seeing the references to registry keys that couldn't be accessed helped confirm this. Trying to alter the permissions on some of these keys I also noticed that nearly every Office relevant key would give an "access is denied" when attempting to open them.
None of these keys had any permissions granted to them which struck me as strange. I attempted to replace all permissions in the HKCR folder but found regedit would either crash or return a failed message and the permissions would not be changed.
I was now determined to have the access that I deserved as an administrator on my own computer!! SubInACL utility gave me the power I needed, and all permissions were changed and the configuration messages disappeared. It was probably overkill in assigning permissions to every key in the registry but I was unsure of what keys Office needed to access so I thought it best to alter them all this may be a security concern to some so it might be worth coming up with a list of keys needed.
To answer the question why it was necessary to gain back permission of these keys in the first place is beyond me, I'm not a programmer or developer but I hope someone who is can shed some light on the issue.
Whether the problem lies with Vista or Office I don't know either. But anyway, onto the steps that are oh so important Cheers and best of luck all!!! I've tried the instructions of Kim with subinacl, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. If anyone knows how to solve it, I would love to know! Thanks, Karl. I think it is worth trying MS support.
