The new log's file name is random, but begins with the letters "Msi" and end with a. Note: turn off Verbose logging when not needed because it will create a LOG file every time the Installer service is used, ie for all Windows Updates. If nothing shows up in the Event Viewer, try turning on Verbose Logging. This tells Windows to log record much more information about what is being done to your machine.
I am using windows 7 pro. Just at start up of installation, it gives problem of setup error without any error code. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. 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!

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. Can anybody help me use the Event Viewer? I don't know how to find out what file my Office pack is looking for. Help would be much appreciated. Saturday, August 29, PM. Another event's description was: The description for Event ID 0 in Source gupdate1cceb0c cannot be found.
Proposed as answer by krishnappu Sunday, June 26, AM. Wednesday, September 16, PM. I also had this problem. The problem is occurred automatically sometimes by wrong installation. Tuesday, September 22, AM. I'd just like to add that there are several different versions of this same problem. Sunday, October 11, AM. Tuesday, October 20, PM. Thanks S Hunter Simpson!! I was just about to uninstall and then reinstall Office when I read your suggestion.
So far it seems to have worked perfectly. And it was so fast and easy, too! Wednesday, October 21, PM. I recently installed 7 pro and office ultimate and did this and it worked great. Thank you so much. Wednesday, October 28, AM. Hi qaas I try your instruction but there is no event with description like yours. DPC file. Can you help me how to track the Event Viewer to find out which file. DPC my computer needs.
Thanks in advance HoanNguyen. Tuesday, November 3, AM. I was having the exact same problem and got it figured out up to the point of using the winword. However, my next problem to fix would be to be able to double-click on a word file in windows explorer and have it open in word without the windows installer popping up. I can't seem to get that part figured out!
Any ideas on how to figure that out? Friday, November 13, AM. It Worked just fine. Thursday, November 26, PM. I cannot find an event that says anything about a. This is the 2nd warning "!
