RE: Configuration/Install/"Office not installed for current user" prob



This is interesting Purusha... since I can roughly correllate the first
instances of the reconfiguration problem with the install of System Mechanic.
Where do I reinstall OPAK11.bak from and how do I rebuild the registry key?
Alternatively, if I deselect "*.bak" in the System Mechanic junk file
cleaner options, when the configuration process runs again will it recreate
those files and registry entries?

I have found why this happens. Certain file cleaners (in my case it was
System Mechanic's "junk file" cleaner) DELETE the file OPA11.BAK. This file
is needed by Office for its activation/validation process, which is checked
everytime any Office product is run...at least in Office 2003 and 2007.
Then if you run a registry cleaner afterwards, the corresponding key in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\(11.0 or 12.0)\Common\General\Data is deleted
as invalid.
If you reinstall the file and the registry key your Office will run like
before.
Oh. be sure to modify your file cleaner to NOT delete *.BAK files!!!

Cheers!
