Word 2007 can't open the thesaurus
When I start up the recently loaded version of Word 2007 beta, I get the
following message: "Word cannot install the necessary files due to Windows Installer error 1605. This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." I have no idea what this means nor how to correct whatever problem is involved. I did uninstall the new version of Office and I ran detect and repair. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance! |

Word 2007 can't open the thesaurus
You uninstalled 2007, ran the 2003 detect and repair feature, and then
what? Did you reinstall 2007?

Word 2007 can't open the thesaurus
When I upgraded, the installer removed Word 2003. I found that Word 2007 did
not load the thesaurus. I ran detect and repair. No improvement. I reinstalled Office 2007 and Word still can not connect to the thesaurus.

This was the only error message I received during the entire process:

Word 2007 can't open the thesaurus
This might help:
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108474 I'd remove 2007 completely, also 2003. Then use the Windows Installer Clean Utility and remove anything that looks like it could be from Office 2003 or 2007 (it should say Office in the name). See the webpage for a link to the tool. Then reinstall 2007.
