Outlook not installed for the current user error

[Guest]

Hi,

I am getting "Microsoft Outlook has not been installed for the current user.
Please run setup to install the application." error. I did a google search
on it and all I could find was to reinstall Outlook. I did it twice with the
same result. Can anyone help me with the solution to this problem, please?

Thank you very much for your time.

Version of Windows? What type of user account is it? Did you let setup run -
if it errored, what was the error?

Thank you for your reply. It is Windows XP Pro SP1. The account does not have
administrative rights, and it does work when the rights are given, but the
user should not be a local admin. The error message is the following:

"Microsoft Outlook has not been installed for the current user. Please run
setup to install the application."

After you click Ok, it just opens Outlook without user's profile.

Thank you very much for your help.

Solution for "Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" - this is the
fix!

This has happened to me twice in the last year or so, once after running a
registry cleaner, and another time after running a "unnecessary file
cleaner". :?.

All my MS Offic apps (Excel, outlook, Work, Powerpoint, Publisher) would not

run but prompted (program) "as Not Been Installed for the Current User"

Arrgh! Here is the fix that worked for me:

Go to control panel, add remove programs icon,
select the 'change or remove" option,
then select MS Office 2003
Then click the link "click here for support information".
Then click the "repair" button.


I put my installation DVD in drive but was propted to browse to a folder
that contained "PROI11N.MSI"

I searched and found this file in a hdden folder C:\MSOCache\All
Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

Was prompted to wait while Windos configure MS Office.

All MS Office applications then functioned (no reboot or CD key entry needed)
..
Note that Outlook prompted that it detected a new account and whether I
wanted to import it.
I declined as i could already see my emails.

Life is good again.

This illustrates that you shouldn't use those "regcleaner" and "filecleaner"
utilities; they do more harm than good.

has not been installed for current user...

I just finished a clean install of Vista Ultimate. After I installed MS Office 2007, I recd this error message on all apps. Looks like some other 3rd party softweare is in the way, but not sure where to look. I've loaded Adobe and several other small things.

Suggestions?

I started getting this error too. Only thing I'd changed is to install a piece of security software called Rapport which was recommended by my bank when I went to use their online banking. Uninstalled it and all just dandy again.
