windows installer configuring menace advice

Uninstall office if you can, then use that tool to remove office from msi if it wasnt removed. Reboot and then install office fresh and then do updates.

Thanks . I will try as you say.But when i use the installer for some other program , cleaning user dat from microsoft msi, the message i received was "this windows installer package is damaged. A program has not been finished as it should ". May it denote that the problem with the installer itself. As a try, i went to the registry of the installer and in the uninstall folder to see any data on microsoft office is there. I found about 20 entries listed in the uninstall folder of installer folder , in hklm and i removed all those things, risking of loosing ms office package altogether. But i could execute all programs in the ms office without any problem and without any updates. The updates from the site is posing problems, so i never installed updates . Instead as a security, i had not enabled another content copying malicious thro disabling help online in those programs. I am seeing so many persons , working safely with msoffice without any updates, with no problem. On reboot, the msi installer configuring does not come. But in the next refresh , it came back again. It seems to me that there is some bug in msi trying to install the updates from no updates available.
                When i click the msi uninstaller it shows, microsoft office plus as a separate program and also list individual programs like word, excel in the cleaning windows. Can i download windows installer from the available os.Pl let me know. I will try your procedure and also to completely delete the problematic user account after copying the data elsewhere. Thank you very and pardon me for queries of basic nature from me.
                   Sharing is joy, shane

Finally i got rid of the menace by deleting my user account (problematic) and copying all the user files in the folder to the newly created administrator account. Now when i logged using the new account the installer does not configure any more. I could access all the microsoft office program, but only thing that i need to add on the add ins in the program. Thank you , this saved a lot of problem.
              how can i now be sure that msi installer for this new account is working. How to test, sir,by downloading any program in this account or only programs in windows like fixit. Pl thank you for all your advice.
             In doing the above, i lost all my favourite pages and the downloading history of the browser.

All of those are stored under the user profile, all you have to do is copy them over :-)

Hi , when  i tried to run one the program. windows installer error 1722, this window installer package is damaged. pl contact the vendor was the message i got.
          when  i type msiexec in cmd, the windows installer opens and there is no problem in it. I want to ensure that it is working . How to test. Yesterday, i downloaded java to the new user account. it worked well. Will that mean the installer is working. Or is there any method by which i could be sure that it is working .
            I copied all the user files to the new account at c: users, but in the process , the GOTD pgrms have become trial version.
