Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

Re-install again.

Before you do that go into Windows updates and disable updates for other microsoft products.

Once reinstalled go into office, File > Office Account > setup Office updates to disable.

I'm on newest it might be File > Accounts instaed of Office Account.


May have to google but goal is not to take updates.


Office 2007 is out of support. Might be tricky finding real answer.

[Updated 18th July 2021]

I use Office 2007 Pro without any problems.

My Office 2007 has been fully updated. I would urge you to check that there are no more updates outstanding for it when WU runs - Office 2007 updates can be a bit annoying in that you have to complete the currently required ones then run WU again & you'll find that more have appeared.

About the reconfiguration problem

Solution 1 - Run the relevant line of the command for each affected Office 2007 application to tell that application not to re-Register its configuration.

Code:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1 
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Powerpoint\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

- I have not seen any reports of Access 2007 being afflicted with the problem. Its command might well be this but I have not had any means of testing my suggestion

Code:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Settings /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

- These commands were taken from Doug Robbins' amendment to the KB-suggested Method 1, Manual solution

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus configures each time - Office 2007 adjustment - MSA forum - this contains Doug's note

Solution 2 - An alternative approach is to prevent re-Registering by renaming the file that is called upon to do it. This solution benefits from affecting all Office applications with a single change.
Run one of these commands in an elevated PowerShell or Command prompt window
For 64 bit Windows 10

Code:

Ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office12\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" "Setup-Old.exe"

For 32 bit Windows 10

Code:

Ren "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office12\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" "Setup-Old.exe"

- These commands were taken from a post by WarwickFulfillment in Office Word 2007 reconfigures every time - MSA forum that was itself taken from a YouTube video posted by usmanalitoo at How to fix Microsoft Office Configuration Progress Every time When it starts - YouTube

Here are some other threads about the reconfiguration problem - some of them also mention the appearance of a stdole32.tlb error message.

This is my list of installed Office 2007 updates [Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates]

- I have installed Office 2007 Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Access.
- If you have installed other Office 2007 components you will find others shown in your own list of installed updates [once you are fully up to date].

I suggest saving copies of each one now in case they are ever removed from the MS update catalog downloads lists.
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...?q=Office+2007
- Just download the updates shown in your own list of installed updates rather than the whole list provided by the MS update catalog because the catalog includes ones that were subsequently superceded by others.
- SP3, which was a major update that established a new beginning for Office 2007 and upon which all further updates were based, is also described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2526086 and the article also provides a download link for it
- If I reinstall Office, I work through the updates list in KB numerical order starting with SP3

Open a command prompt***, paste this command into it and press the return key

Code:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1

*** One method of doing so is:-

Start menu,
Windows system,
Command prompt.
