Office 2007 still not installed correctly

[Jay]

I'm reposting as the original message seems to have gone dead. Any insight
on this from anyone?

What Vista build are you running?

Also, when I run the repair utility, I get an exception about 1/2 way through
that prompts me for my debugger. Launching into VS, I get:

Unhandled exception at 0x024a68b0 in setup.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation
reading location 0xead8e29f.

I've also noticed that the registry keys such as

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\word.document.8 or EXCEL.XLL when I click on them in
regedit, I get:

Excel.xll can not be opened. An error is preventing this key from being
opened. Details:Access is denied.

I am running as the administrator.

I have the same issue. I was running the beta. I uninstalled the beta and
installed the Enterprise edition. Since then I also have the exact same
behavior and a large quantity of registry keys have had their permissions
stripped. The number of keys is too many to do manually.

I have tried doing a repair, I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled.
I have also uninstalled and run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, with
no success.

Anyone have a fix for this issue?

Wow, youre quite the dick. Maybe you need a newsgroup reader that shows you
the thread.

Its ok anyway. I didn't need a supposed MVP to assist, I figured it out my
own, as usual.

Excellent. Please do not let the door hit you in the ass as you exit.

For us non-dicks in the group, how did you fix it? Mine still doesn't work .

Jay, you have to do a reinstall of Windows. It locks you out of a few
thousand registry keys and there's no easy way to reset this.

Backup your data, including your PSTs if you have them, then reinstall a
fresh copy of Windows.

It's unfortunate none of the so-called professionals in the newsgroup could
even bother to tell you this. Good luck!

Nice site Bob. They do have templates in Word you know, if you really need to
use MS Word to create your website.

 

[Jay]

Can you just do a repair? I'd hate to have to reinstall all of my
applications?

[Who knows?]

Did anyone every figure out anything on this? I am ok with the Office apps,
but SharePoint Designer does this configuring nonsense.

After looking at the application log, I see it's having problems getting to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.web\

I cannot do anything with that key when I use regedit on that key. Not with
my user account, not as administrator. UAC is turned off.

 

[Jay]

Nope...my OS went to crap shortly after. The entire desktop was blank and
microsoft just had me reinstall. It didn't even boot up in safe mode. So at
that point, the registry was cleaned out and I was fine. I've heard of no
other solution. I am convinced Vista is crap at this point. One more
problem and I'm back to XP waiting for SP1 and SP2 on Vista. Definately
reminded me of why never version 1 with Msoft. It really is pretty quirky.

 

[Who knows?]

That's too bad. I have no problem with Office. It's SharePoint Designer
2007 that I am having issues with.

I uninstalled Office and SPD, and that registry key it can't get to is
gone. Install it, and it's back and unable to be accessed. I might try
uninstalling, creating that registry key and then installing it. You know,
pull the old trick-er-roo. LOL

Maybe it's this x64 version.

There are limitations in Office support on any Windows 64 bit version, but you may want to use the link below to post in the MS
Office Sharepoint Designer discussion group as well.
