Office 2007 and Ms office 2007 I actually

With the upcoming announcement of a 64-bit version of Photoshop, I decided that I would move into the world of Vista 64 bit. I have thought about it for awhile but it is a daunting process, especially when I look at everything that I have installed currently in Vista 32 bit. To accomplish my task, I purchased a hard drive and installed Vista 64 on the new hard drive and continued using Vista 32 on its original drive while I installed and configured all my programs. The reason for doing it this way is that Vista 64 requires a clean install. It will not install over Vista 32. I wanted to take my time doing this and I would change the boot drive in the bios to go to Vista 32 or Vista 64.
Initially, things went well. I managed to find drivers for all of my devices. I have an old flat bed scanner that I thought would be a problem but it wasn’t. I googled for Vista 64 drivers for the scanner and found that a person had taken drivers for a newer scanner and made some adjustments to them and they work with the older scanner. He was spot on! Things continued to go well as I installed and configured more programs. The nightmare occurred when I went to install Office 2007.
Everytime that I tried to open an Office program, the installer would start and eventually tell me that the program was not installed for the current user. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling – all to no avail. Then I lucked on a forum that gave me an answer to the problem although it took quite some time for me to figure out how to properly run the program that fixed the issue. I am somewhat computer savy and I realized that if I had this kind of problem, how would someone who knew less that I did handle it? I am going to continue with a detailed description of what I did.
First, a little explanation of the problem. It occurred because Office 2007 installed with the SYSTEM as the owner of the program and it would not let anyone else run it without right clicking on the program icon and choose “Run as Administrator”. I suppose that you could do this everytime you wanted to run an Office program but this would drive me nuts. Now, on to the fix!
First, go to the following web site: Office 2007 and Ms office 2007 I actually downloaded the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions and installed them both. I am not sure whether you need both.
This is typed as one long sentence. There are no carriage returns. Just type it the way you see it above. Use the quotation marks where shown and if you do it correctly, you will start seeing a lot of things scrolling by and it will let you know when it has completed the task. Once complete, you will be able to open all the office programs without using “Run as Administrator”.
