    Help. I'm running Windows XP and have Microsoft Office Small Business 2007. I've been running this for several months now with no issue. A few days ago, I went to check my Outlook and received this message 'Microsoft Office Outlook has not been installed for the current user'. I am the only user. And, all of my other MS Office programs (Excel, PowerPoint, etc) are giving me the same error. I have researched resolutions and none have worked (clearing registration key, removing and reinstalling, repair). Could someone please help me and tell me how I can get rid of this crazy error and open my Outlook? Thanks.

    ...still need help

    Thanks psi, for the information.
    Unfortunately, the mso.dll patch did not resolve my issue. Is there anything else that you know of that can resolve my issue? All feedback and ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Try to delete all files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA if you use Vista/7, run Office once, close it, then paste the patched mso.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12

    But this mean you have to reactivate it using phone method and fill 000000 to all confirmation or something like that

    PM me if this work

    Note: It usually appear because you use illegal MS Office and then do a big update for example upgrading Service Pack

    Well, IF you have the modified "mso.dll" file: stop all MS Office programs, and in Win Xp, do this: Rename the MSO.dll file to something else, in case this doesn't work for you, and copy the modified "mso.dll" fille into this location: C:program Files/Common Files/microsoft shared/OFFICE12
    Restart your software, and it should work.
