I would like to say a massive thankyou! Hao, if your the one who came up with this fix, you did an amazing job. I have been searching for a fix for over a year, sort of left it alone for a while.. and came across this post. Its amazing! None of my microsoft office programs reinstall when launching anymore! Also excel no longer presents stdole32.tlb or whateva popup. Thankyou very much!

the solution is really simple actually….

for Ms Word 2007 to stop displaying the setup configuration each time you open the programme simply do the following steps:

step 1: go to run
step2:type “regedit”
step3:this will take you to registry editor here go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then to Software then to Microsoft then to Office then to 12.0 (if word 2003 go to 11.0) then Word then Options
step4: then right click options and then make “new” DWORD value
step5: name it as NoReReg
step6: double click on this and set the value to 1 from 0

cheers!!!!
i hope i solved the problem……

Backing up the registry is of course wise, but I have a hard time seeing how this could cause the problems you’re having. What the script does is basically to allow the “system” and “administrator” accounts full control over all registry keys. (Which they should have anyway).

Btw you should tell people to back their registry up, cus I didn’t and now I have fixed an office problem but opened up a wealth of new problems. Sound card uninstalled.. no audio, explorer.exe won’t let me open any windows to browse my pc saying there is no harddrive space, internet connection is acting up it’s displaying as not connected when I can browse. System restore is broken claiming HDD space isn’t enough to start the program. Anyone know how to revert any registry changes? I’d rather not reinstall my PC after just doing it the other month. My god this sucks.. Please help.. This is the worst timing!!

BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT THE POST MAKERS INSTRUCTIONS.

UPDATE: If anyone else is having problems with the code not solving anything..

You may want to check this MS WORD fix out:

Launch Run.. (WinKey+R), Then enter without quotation marks “reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1″

Hit Enter

Launch Run.. Then enter “reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1″

Hit Enter

MS WORD fixed hopefully!

Read on…

Also people are claiming that replacing \Word\ with other Office app names like \PowerPoint\ when hitting enter will solve the configuration box popping up for others. Excels getting an error when it boots “stdole2.tlb”. not sure if it’s missing or what as it doesn’t state anything else besides that .tlb file.

This seemed to help me as well:

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office

(Your start menus MS Office folder (This folder is hidden by default so enable showing of hidden folders)) Delete the shortcuts to the Office apps inside this folder.

Open another window (navigate to your windows installation folder)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
Right-click > Copy > All the office application .EXEcutables

Go to the first folder we opened and Right-click > Paste shortcut

The following two steps that i listed helped me out. I have Word and PowerPoint fixed but excel with an error (but still useable).
