I have downloaded the trial version of Office Home and Student 2007 and
installed it on my Vista Home Premium X64 SP1 computer. The installation
seemed to go without a hitch. However, I find that I can only run the
program with U A C turned off. If I try to run the program I get a message
(after a supposed configuration of the software) that the software isn't
installed for this user and to run setup. Now this means next to nothing to
me as I am new to both Vista and Office 2007.

Does anyone know how to install this program so that it is available to all
users or how I can make changes to my installation so that it will run for
all users.

Thank you.
 
Hi,

Is there other user accounts on the computer, if there is does it work in
any of the user accounts?

When Office is installed it keeps a copy of the installer files so that when
a new user account is created and Office is run for the first time it uses
these files to setup Office for the user.
 
I added another user but couldn't get Office to run on that user either. I
keep getting a message to run setup. What setup? I re-ran the installation
file from the other account......no change.

I have tried getting help from Microsoft and the referred me to the email
support for the software. The email form would not accept my Product
Identification Number saying that it is invalid. I double checked the number
and it is correct.

I am at a loss as to what I can do about solving this.
