Vista - Office 2007 showing setup & configuration when opening any office

Hi,

I reinstalled my office 2007 enterprise on my vista home premium, now, when
i try to open any program the install goes into the setup & configuration
screen, it says "windows is configuring office 2007...", a setup bar goes by
for about 4-5 minutes, then the program opens, very frustrating. I also get
the error "stdole32.tlb" when opening excel.
I am already looking for about a week for a solution, and already tried
everything (deleting everything except register en reinstall, use setup clean
up util, installing 2003, installing 2007 in safe mode, logging in as
'administrator', install separatly, etc...) without succes
Please (someone) let me know if there is a solution for this issue.

Anyway, please report this BUG to microsoft, maybe then can write an article
on it or release a patch, as I believe lot of people (will) experience this
issue.

Thanks in advance

It would be easier if you reported it.

It is NOT a Vista bug!
Office installs perfectly in Vista
Uninstall it completely, then reinstall it.
And kindly STOP blaming Vista fror EVERYTHING!

I'm looking for a solution... not some whining reply
as you can READ I already tried the following

and I didn't say it's a Vista bug (which it probably is) but an office 2007
bug;
look on the office forums, lots of people are experiencing exactly the same
issue.
The only thing I want is solve the problem, can I ?

It seems that office setup hasn't managed to complete an installation task
from the first place and it is continually trying to finish the uncompleted
task. To monitor this, have a look at your event viewer under the setup
logs. There you will identify the exact cause.

I suspect that you have a bad cd. Try installing from another cd

Thanks, i tried burning it on a cd-rom and installing it from that (instead
of mounting it with daemon tools) but the problem persists.
I had a look at the setup log but I can't make a lot of it... anyway at the
end it says:

Successfully installed package: EnterpriseWW path:C:\MSOCache\All
Users\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C\EnterpriseWW.msi
Showing completion dialog.
Reboot requested if needed.
No reboot is needed.
Catalyst execution finished: 04/28/2007 21:52:35. Return code: 0.
PERF: TickCount=1193189 Name=RunSetup Description=End function

maybe I can email you the setup log

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

Turn off UAC, reboot. Try reinstalling Office 2007.
