UAC in Vista has to be turned off to run MS Office

[lciccar222]

I installed MS Office 2007 Enterprise edition on a new computer with Vista
Ultimate 64 bit edition. It works fine if UAC is turned off but as soon as I
turn it back on and start any "office" program it goes into a set up. Then
it tells me that "MS Office has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to install application." I have deleted users, added users
- all have administrative rights. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. This
version of office works fine on an "XP" machine. I also have uninstalled
and reinstalled. I also installed Office 2003, it worked fine. Then
upgraded to 2007 and had the same problems.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you installed it while UAC is on?

I don't have any Vista 64 bit installation to test this under, but this
is the first time I am reading something like this here. I can however
tell you that I had no problems with Vista 32 bit in multiple different
installations.
If you don't have a particular application that absolutely requires 64
bit, then you are better off with Vista 32 bit anyhow.

The OP said Office 2007 Enterprise. So it's a volume license copy.

Hi Patrick,

Not necessarily Office 2007 enterprise Editions also come in a 'retail flavor'. The 60 day trial edition of Office 2007
Enterprise edition, for example, is a retail product. It has different folder names than the enterprise media and does not include
the Office Customization/Deployment Tool support.
