Tried your tip - had to change the view properties to see the .exe - and
have another interesting event: I rename the file and another copy shows up,
in the same folder. Some how the file is replicated - I now have the exe
version and four modified versions. It seems bound and determined to to
maintain that file.
Latest, I uninstalled the entire Office and reinstalled from the CD
directory, running the setup file as Administrator. Same problem.
Ghost in the Machine?

Interesting observation but I have Office Enterprise installed on a test
machine under a normal user account and have had none of the problems that
you enumerate, nor any of the others that appear in the news groups.

| Hi Bill:
|
| I feel your pain, unfortunately. In accounts lacking Administrator
| permissions, Office 2007 programs re-install every time you open
| them. Many solutions have been proposed for this problem, and some of
| them work for some people, but there is no solution that works for
| everyone. In my case, I have yet to come across a solution that
| works. In accounts lacking Administrator permissions I use Open
| Office.
|
| Office 2007 does work in Administrator accounts, but not without
| annoyances that you learn to live with. For example, certain
| components reinstall themselves even after you remove them, like
| French and Spanish proofing tools, and Sharepoint services.
|
| There is a work-around to the problem of re-installing, but I must
| caution you that I have not fully tested it. I do not have Vista, but
| I can explain in terms of Windows XP. If you rename this file:
|
| C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup
| Controller\SETUP.EXE
|
| to SETUP.EX_
|
| your Office programs will open without reinstalling and they will
| work just fine. You may have to rename the file (back to SETUP.EXE)
| if you need to add or remove Office components, repair your
| installation, or install updates from Microsoft Update.
|
| I would advise anyone offered Office 2007 Enterprise under the Home
| Use Program to think twice. It's tempting to pay only 20 bucks for
| Office, but you pay in other ways as well.
|
