Office 2003 EULA

[Arthur]

I installed Viata 64x on a clean hard drive. I installed my copy of Windows
2003 on this OS. Now, I get a persistent message everytime I start an Office
application: "You must accept the Office End User License Agreement (EULA).
I accept it. It returnes the next time I start an application. I checked the
Microsoft Knowledge base article 884202 on the subject. It didn';t help. The
registry entries were not as described in that article. Under office there
was no sub-brance called 11.

Any ideas?

You must accept the Office End User License Agreement every time
that you start an Office program

Peter,

Thank you for the answer. As I said, I already tried that.

That article applies to WinXP, perhaps Vista Registry differs?
In Explorer is the following folder shown; Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11 ?

The article applies to Office and has nothing to do with which type of OS is installed.

What the OP can still try is to try and set the Eula up in the Administrator Mode

Peter and all,

Here is the latest on my EULA woes. I have tried installing as a User. I
uninstalled and tried as the Administrator. I followed the MS KB article but
without success. I get the same results. This is MS Office 2003 Professional
Edition on Vista 64 bit. The following programs persist in EULA: Outlook,
Excel, Power Point, Publisher, and Word. Oddly, Access does not ask for
EULA. My MS Project (not part of Office Professional) also does not ask for
EULA.

When I search the internet, I see a few other requests reporting the same
problem.

Microsoft Update reports Windows and Office are up to date.

The article states it applies to winXp
As far as I'm *aware* the Vista registry differes from wint registry & since
the OP states these keys are not shown.......

That KB is for Office 11(2003) Vista has nothing to do with this as has no other MS windows OS.

If the OP is missing those strings in the reg then he definitely has a corrupt or not a legal version of the Office 2003 install

Peter,

I have a dual boot system. This Office 2003 THAT I OWN LEGALLY is installed
on XP-64 and runs fine. The string referenced in the KB article is NOT in
the XP-64 registry. This same Office 2003 installed on the SAME computer
under Vista-64 has the EULA DEFECT.

I'm curious, what makes you so certain the this copy of Office is corrupt or
an illegal copy and not a DEFECT by MICROSOFT on 64 bit computers and
operating systems? Maybe the KB article is out of date.

The KB article is from March of this year. Office 11 (2003) has nothing at all to do with Vista 64 or XP32 or 64 or with no Operating System. Office is a completely separate 32 bit install and it does not matter that it is installed on a 64 bit OS

That Reg line (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0) has to be in the registry if you have the Office 2003 installed correctly.

If it is not there then your Office 2003 install is corrupt. Are you 150% sure that file does not exist in your Registry. Did you go and look for it manually or by the Find option

Problem solved. I found the answer in another forum. See below.

I had the same issue with Vista Business, but after getting used to how
Vista 'protects' me, it became obvious what was wrong.

Try going to your Program Files directory and finding any of the Office
executables (word.exe, excel.exe etc) and right click.
Choose 'Run as Administrator'. Once loaded, accept the EULA and it
shouldn't reappear.

Let me know if this doesn't work...
