Office EULA Pops Up every time you open an Office application with Vista

This stumped me at first.  I continued to accept the EULA, but I still got the message.  I kept doing the same thing over and over, one definition of insanity.

So what is the problem.  It involves the way that Vista limits installations to reduce unwanted applications from installing.  The problem is that in this case, it creates its own problem.

If you want to solve it yourself, back up the registry before you begin.  For this I recommend a program called ERUNT.   It backs up the entire registry in case you make a mistake.  The Microsoft regedit does not back up everything.

Once you have a backup, you can edit the registry.  Follow the instructions of this Microsoft tech bulletin, 884202.

If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, give me a call.  I can check other problems for you at the same time.
