MS Office "Not installed by Current User "

[TimLeslie]

I'm at a loss. All of a sudden a user has an issue with all their MS Office 2003 which they can no longer access as they get 'MS Word/Excel/etc has not been installed by the current user. Please run setup to install the app'. I've crawled around looking for what looks like a common problem and attempted all the 'fixes'. So far I have Uninstalled Office, amended the registry entry to allow the current user (Who has admin rights anyway?) and re-installed. No goog. Just installed using admin, it worked on admin but then switched users and got the same error, despite importing the admin reg key fro office. This is driving me mad, anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Tim

No, no, not really...

Have you tried logging the same user with the same access onto another machine to at least narrow down whether it's something on that machine rather than the user's profile?

Or have you tried creating a different profile for the same user on the same system, to see if it's the profile, and not the machine?
