How can I stop the reconfiguring? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office twice. Please tell me how to stop this configuring on every start up of Word Excel opens normally, this only happens with Word documents.
I am hoping you are still a member of these Forums because I want to thank you most sincerely for solving my problem in starting Microsoft Office Enterprise I have tried all the suggestions to no avail but after following your instructions, the programmes open immediately without a hitch.
After some recent Office updates, I started getting the dreaded installer running every time I launch Word or Excel. I've tried all the above and nothing worked. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet, about to root through the registry but I do know why it's happening. Apparenlty I had an SD card plugged in during one of the patches and it was the F drive and lovely windows used it as a temp location. If I plug the SD card back in, I don't get the installer running.
If I unplug it and no F drive, installer runs. Fun, fun None of the above solutions worked for me. But while studying event viewer after saved word documents were not opening, I found from event viewer that mfc. I downloaded the file and took ownership and copied to required folder as per file path shown by event viewer.
Now not only saved documents open but as a great relief, Outlook has stopped configuring every time and is normal and working fine. I suppose the basic problem lies somewhere with visual basics.
It was event ID related to opening word file which gave correct direction to me whereas the ID related to Outlook was not so specific and action from word event id solved problem for all applications including Outlook.
Many have suggested many solutions to the Configuration Process delay in opening Word. In this last folder, find a rename the file: setup. Do the same as above for Office 14 except replace the folder Office12 with Office 14 and I renamed this setup. I only found one "install" required for Access but then next time I opened it, there were no problems. Other programs work flawlessly side by side Excel, PPT, etc.
The one disadvantage of this is that you cannot uninstall the program s before renaming the file back to its original name i. Keep these instructions in a safe place in case you ever want to uninstall. Good luck and I hope it works as well for you. You're also avoiding playing with the Registry which is a scary proposition for some.
I have had this problem for over a year now. I have literally done everything above and everytime I open Word I still get the configuration message and it installs. I am not a wizard at this and as such I suppose I could be doing something wrong, but as it has been so long I feel like I have done everything! Please please please help me!!!!! Maybe I could post my registry or something and someone could help me????? Now you have a folder open with Office guts.
Find the file for your application and create a shortcut to your desktop. Drag those shortcuts down to your taskbar if you prefer. A quick solution I stumbled upon while trying to figure out what the rest of the replies are talking about. I am not a geek, I just got lucky! Thanks very much for this - works fine for Word also - simply substitute All the long complex stuff in Microsoft's article completely useless, whereas this fixed it in an instant.
It worked perfectly. On my Vista system, if I rename it, the system simply creates a new setup. How come this doesn't happen on your systems? This worked for me too. I had to create a shortcut on the desktop first and then drag it to the Task bar to get it to work there. My system is running Windows 7. Thanks a million for posting the solution. This problem has beem driving me HUTS for a long time. Thank you for your final solution - using the shortcuts from inside the program file - it is such a simple solution and yet so effective.
Worked immediately for me! I want to thank you for taking your time to respond to this person's problem. You made my day much better. I was having the reconfigure problem but just with Access , this also with a thin client install of Access Even if I renamed the setup.
With the following registry entry I can have the setup. As always, back-up your registry if you don't want to have regrets. I am on Windows Server with Office Your solution. Thank You.. Satya Aditham. This a few years later - but it doesn't work! Have you found any other answer that does work? I can no longer use MS Word and have yet to find a solution. I installed MS Office on my new laptop and had the same problem.
Each time I started an application Word, Excel, Power Point, etc , I would have to wait for the program to configure itself. After reading many fixes on this blog, they all seemed too complicated so I experimented myself and it worked like a charm. The problem is that most laptops and PCs come with a trial version of MS Office and that is what is causing the problem.
After a week and a half researching this and trying so many things, including registry tweaks, I stumbled across a logical fix on another forum that worked for me, and hope I can save others some time and frustration. Go to the folder where the "setup. It'll be in either "Program files" or "Program Files x You've already installed the program, and hopefully have the original zip file you downloaded or the original CD, so the worst that can happen here is a re-install, and it already doesn't work properly, so there's no down side here.
If you need to, make a copy of your original download file. Plus, you've already used the setup file; you don't need it to run any of the Office programs.
Rename the "setup. I almost fell over when I opened Word and Excel without waiting. I tried this and it just makes a new copy of setup. I even tried unintsalling and the reinstalling and that only worked for one startup routine of Word.
Everytime after that it just configures again and again. It seems to be mocking me. I'm using openoffice now. Solution: rigth click on word, Excel etc Click on recommended parameter,. I have searched and tried a number of different "solutions" but this was the only one that worked instantly. I read this thread with interest as Ive been trying to resolve the launch of the installer wizard every time we launch Office Home and Student or double click a document on my daughters Dell computer.
I tried every suggestion I could find including kb and couldn't solve it. Previously, I gone straight into the updates after installing. If I now install the updates, the installer wizard is back. I suspect that SP3 will be the culprit as its the main update available. Im not absolutely sure, but I think that we haven't applied the earlier service packs and I wondered if that might be the problem. I wonder what we will be missing if I don't apply SP3? Your solution worked absolutely perfectly after a system reboot.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and it solved the problem. Thanks P. At the same time, I also followed another suggestion, which was to delete any earlier versions which may be conflicting with Word I deleted Word , as well as some older free Microsoft "Viewers" to view Office or Word documents. I then rebooted, and now I'm able to open Word right away, using any of the shortcuts I had created anywhere on my computer, without the configuration window opening any more before the main Word program screen opened.
I don't know which solution worked - the running of the commands or the deletion of older programs - but it doesn't matter to me since at least the problem is solved. Man you're a genius How simple and effective can be that "laughing" proposal, renaming that setup Makes me laugh and cry Obviously yours is so good.
Best regards! Thanks that worked perfectly with Windows 7 as the OS I spent 2 days hunting and was about to give up when I found your post. Thanks so much. I had to run Regedit and manually enter the value in there but now works like a charm if anyone would like a step by step walk thru to do this email me at Matt gmail.
You need to change this to 1 leave the base as Hexadecimal. Thank very much. Thank you so much for this, if this didn't work my next step was to call the Microsoft rep. Thank you again, i was so happy when i was able to open my pages without waiting to reconfigure. I'm having this issue with Office on Win XP. The reg key worked for Word , but unfortunately, Excel still brings up the installation every time it opens.
Anyone else? This absolutely worked for me. Thanks for the help. I tried using Office's fix-it tool, and I tried deleting and restoring the shortcuts. Neither of those solutions worked for me.
I guess they worked for others, but I'm curious as to how you knew this. I've had this problem for years, after installing a now obsolete and temporary version of office that was offered to college students. Your line fixed my problem immediately. I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you. The re-installation issue stopped for. Good Luck. That was helpful. Thank you!
I was having trouble opening Excel normally as described by all others in this thread. I have Office Enterprise running on XP. Thanks to 8vdude8. Thanks, it worked for me on Windows 7 bit with Office Enterprise When I tried to open Word, the installer would run the configuration process but only when opening a Word document.
Yes it worked I'm very excited I've had the obnoxious issue of Microsoft Word on Windows 10 re-configuring every time I brought it up. It seems that there is more than one cause to this problem. I am using Windows 10 and this helped me to get the configuration to stop when I open Word but when I open Excel it gives me an error message and the configuration process each time still.
Is there another command or some way to make that stop? Just had the same problem with opening Word in Windows Brilliant - fixed it! No longer wants to configure every time. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Resources for IT Professionals. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question.

ANY information would be appreciated!!! Thanx a lot lby. Monday, January 14, AM. Hope this helps. Monday, December 21, PM. I didn't see any error regarding MS Office in the Event Viewer, and sure enough, your procedure didn't seem to work for me. I'm running the Win7 Enterprise Trial right now, and it seems that for all the Win7 releases so far, the easiest way to get Office to work again is to rename the setup file as something else, so the reconfiguration process isn't even started.
The one disadvantage of this is that you cannot uninstall the program before renaming the file back to the original name, but people rarely uninstall it anyways Updates continue to work, but after Service Pack updates for Office, the setup file seems to be restored, so the procedure would have to be redone after another Office service pack is installed.
This procedure has worked for me every time without fail, so hopefully it will work for others as well. Wednesday, September 9, AM. I'm thinking about clean slate Tuesday, July 15, PM. I finally found a solution for this problem by digging inside the event viewer. DPC now run any office program it will work.. I hope this help..
Monday, February 9, AM. Have you received any answers yet? I would gladly pay, but as Microsoft is having trouble with this, I don't know that a 3rd party program would fix it either. I'm waiting for tech support to respond a 2nd time. Was hoping that you have an answer Wednesday, January 23, PM. Hi I don't get error messages just the wait every time I open a word document. Tuesday, April 1, PM. Garth01 wrote: Hi I don't get error messages just the wait every time I open a word document.
Sunday, April 20, PM. I am getting the exact same message. Evey time I open the first message, open or copy a contact, or close Outlook it opens the "Configuration Progress" window and asks to restart when it's done. I have clicked yes on the prompt two times now and it continues to happen.
Now I click No and continue. Word and Excel do not have this issue for me, only Outlook. So far, every forum thread I have read about this issue has not been resolved and the earliest thread I found started in January Microsoft help us! Monday, June 16, PM. I am having the exact same issue.
Why isn't Microsoft responding to this and this thread!??! Monday, July 7, PM. That did nothing for me. But I am glad it worked for you. Saturday, July 26, PM. TVM for your help. I was going crazy trying to solve this. At first your fix didn't work. DPC rather than 11 like yours. I renamed the file I created and it works perfectly. Thanks again! Friday, June 5, PM. Wednesday, June 10, AM. I have similar problem with same sort of messages as jlewisoakes depending on which Office product I try and open.
Any help appreciated. Wednesday, June 10, PM. I had the exact same problem as jlewisoakes, DGP which soon drove me crazy waiting for the reinstqalls to finish each time I wanted to use Outlook.
I refered the issue to Microsoft Techncial Support, and they were fantastic. Worth giving them a try. My laptop is now running perfectly.
Good luck! Tuesday, July 7, AM. Nothing worked and it was driving me crazy until I saw someone suggest to remove the shortcuts on the start menu and copy new ones from the Office 12 folder. It worked. Right click and delete. EXE icons for all the Office applications and right click. Right click and select "Paste Shortcut". If you desire, rename each shortcut. You are done! Hopefully this should work. I suggest trying this first, before attempting any of the other solutions suggested by Microsoft which require you to mess with the Registry and what not.
Hope this helps Lina. Sunday, July 12, PM. Good tip Mazen, it works NM Thursday, July 23, PM. Works good Mazen, thanks for that. Saturday, August 29, AM.

I've been posting to forums including Microsoft Discussion Groups for over a month now, but nobody has offered a solution that worked until yours :. Sunday, December 6, AM. Yeah, well been there done that before and it is a real pain to reinstall everything and shouldn't be necessary just to get rid of this problem that as I can see has not only been a daily annoying time consuming problem for me, it has been for everyone. I am running Vista Home Premium, have tried all kinds of recommended fixes and nothing seems to work!
I began with basic software on my computer, but because I am used to working with Microsoft Office Professional at work, have had earlier versions with all the bells and whistles I had to have at least installed.
I found what I thought was a great deal on Office Professional onliine, purchased, installed it, enjoyed it for a while until I went online and did an online genuine Microsoft scan and learned it was considered counterfeit.
