Windows 7 Installing OfficeXP 2002 on win7

abrogard · Mar 5, 2015

I googled that OfficeXP will run okay on win7.

Went to install it and all went well until after keycode input and all and then it stopped with a message that the administrator has configured a profile or something that prevents such an installation.

Something to that effect.

I'm the administrator. But don't know what to do about this. Any help?

[]User Account Control (UAC):
- Disable UAC temporarily before running the installer to see if it affects the installation process.
Registry Modification (Advanced):
- If the above steps don't work, you can modify the Windows registry settings to allow the installation.
- Caution: Editing the registry is a sensitive process. Backup the registry or create a System Restore point before proceeding.
- Open the Registry Editor (regedit) and navigate to:
  Code:
```
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
```
- Look for a registry value named EnableLUA. If it exists and is set to 0, change it to 1.
- Close the Registry Editor and try the installation again. If none of these steps work, it might indicate deeper compatibility issues between Office XP and Windows 7. In that case, consider alternative options such as upgrading to a more recent version of Microsoft Office that is fully compatible with Windows 7.
