Each time i open Excel (Office 2003 Professional) Windows XP machine i get a
message that says : Installing Components for Microsoft Excel and a box that
says Installing: Microsoft Excel Feature. After this message goes away
Excel works fine until i close it and open it again.
I have run detect and repair and done all updates and restarted my computer
but nothing has helped. Any suggestions?
 
Try logging on under the Administrator account or an account that has Admin
privileges.

Chip:

Same problem, with both Excel and Word. Am running as Administrator.

I'm having the same problem with one PC in our network.
Admin doesn't help, reinstalling eather.
 
I solved this by "repairing" the Office installation.

Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Microsoft Office Professional
Edition 2003 | Change | Reinstall or Repair

Having the same problem with one of the workstations. We re-installed one
time, but still every time excel is opened the message pops up. I also ran
the repair but that did not fix it either.
 
Maybe you clicked on a feature that you initially installed as "Install on
1st use", and now it's trying to find the Office CD to install it everytime
you start up?

Running repairs and re-installs did work.
I just uninstalled Excel only and then did a custom install, selecting
various addl components which were previously setup to be installed on first
use.
This solved the problem.
