    please wait while windows configures microsoft office ultimate 2007

    Hi

    I have Vista Home Premium and a brand new Dell Laptop. I've just bought Office Ultimate 2007. Everytime I open outlook or try to take any action, I get "please wait while windows configures microsoft office ultimate 2007". it takes a good while before it goes away.
    I have cleared the registry.
    I have uninstalled the previous trial office
    I have uninstalled ultimate and reinstalled
    Turned off the User security
    looked at loads of threads
    Am at a loss and would be grateful for any help.
    Thanks

    Here is a possible fix,found online.

    Rename the MS Office & Word Setup files - for me they were located in Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Setup. I renamed the two exe files in there - Acme & AcmeWord to Acmex & AcmeWordx.

    how do i stop office 2007 configuring startup - Office Setup

    May be a blind lead. Do you have your folder view settings to show hidden files
    and protected operating system files?
