Not Installed for current user!! @#$%ing office!! help!!

[roger_27]

hey I'm having this stupid
Microsoft [Insert Program Here] has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to install the application.

I went to that microsoft knowledge base article that described how to fix
it. the solutions dont work. I don't get a registry location so I cant do
the first one. I dont have webroot spysweeper, but I did uninstall symantec
client security, and that didnt work.

lastly I went to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\OPA11.DAT

and looked at the permissions. all okay. so then I deleted the file

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\OPA11.DAT

(but not the OPA11.bak)

and it DOESNT WORK!

I uninstalled all office, even office web components, and even deleted the
directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ after it was uninstalled so that
no traces of the program existed. and it STILL doesnt work.

any help is appreciated. I know that if I just make a new account it will
work, but I need this account.

thanks

Hmmm.. Which article did you follow. And which key is missing?

You should try deleting all the opa11 files in that folder.
Also try creating a new user account and try opening the office in that
account.
Let me know what happens
