Well People I am usig Office Enterprise 2007 with the same problem
after upgrading von Office 2k3 Pro.
I however managed to get rid of the configuration window that popsup
on every start, however I am still struggling with the Windows
Installer Window even though it takes about 15secs I would love to get
rid of it.

Here is how i got rid of the Configuration Screen (found on:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091) :

Multiple versions of Word
If you have two versions of Microsoft Word installed on the same
computer, you experience a delay when you start Word 2007. This
behavior occurs because Word 2007 auto-registers itself on the
computer.

You can bypass the auto-registration. This enables Word 2007 to start
faster. However, we do not recommend this because Word may not
function correctly if it cannot auto-register itself.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These
problems might require that you reinstall the operating system.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify
the registry at your own risk.

To bypass the auto-registration for Word 2007, follow these steps: 1.
Exit Word 2007.
2. Start Registry Editor.· In Windows Vista, click Start, type regedit
in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a
confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
· In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box,
and then click OK.

3. Locate and then click to select the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options
4. After you select the subkey that is specified in step 3, point to
New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type NoReReg, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click NoReReg, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
8. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

So anyone who has experience with Windows Installer and knows how to
get it to stop popping up everytime I run word please do tell. thank
you
