When I go to open any Office 2007 application (Word, Excel etc) I get an error messge stating 'Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application'. I'm on Vista.
I only have one account on the laptop, and its set as administrator. Tried changing security settings but didn't work. Deleted some new updates and that didn't fix it, although there are some I cant delete. Uninstalled it and reloaded it but it stills come up with the same error? These were all common suggestions after a google session.
Anybody any ideas?

Is it a pirated copy by any chance?
Try deleting MSO.dll from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12, then running a repair installation.
If it's real, something to try is to search for OPA12.DAT, and set the file permissions to allow Everyone full control.

It was a cracked copy. Uninstalled that and installed a legit copy and got the same.
Will go try that cheers.

Uninstalling it doesn't remove MSO.dll, which is why you'll need to delete it manually before reinstalling the legit copy.
MSO.dll is modified by one of the updates that detects pirated copies, so you need to remove it by hand before reinstalling even a legit copy.
