Assistance Needed

[Revrant]

Greetings,

I have two of the same operating systems installed on my computer. When I go to the program files from the other operating system that doesn't have MS office installed on it, I cannot access it. It say's "Microsoft office word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup for the application." It open's the program, but it won't let me use it. Is there anyway I can get around this with out re-installing MS word on this operating system?

Thanks,

Chris

Howdy and welcome to CTH:

In a nutshell, NO.. When you install a program it places various files throughout Windows including Registry..

The OS that Office isn't installed on doesn't have these required files.. You will have to install the program !!

BTW, the EULA only allows for a single installation at any given time.. to install it again would be illegal !!

And who actually pays for their operating system?

You only bought the right to use the OS in accordance to their EULA which means installed on ONE SYSTEM at any given time !!

Alright.
1. Log onto the account with Microsoft Office Permissions.
2. Open up windows explorer
3. Go to tools>folder options and click on the 'view' tab
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and look for "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)". Declick that, so it's off.
5. Click Apply, click okay.
6. Close Windows explorer
7. Open Windows explorer again.
8. Navigate to the microsoft office folder (def. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office)
9. Right click on the Microsoft office folder, click on properties.
10. Go to the security tab and from the upper list, select the user account that DOESN'T have access to MS Office.
11. Next to "Full Control" in the bottom box, click the box under the "Apply" heading.
12. Click apply, and then okay.
13. Test it out?

Don't ask me how I chose to divide those steps, I haven't eaten in 17 hours. Anyway, let us know if that helps any.
