Office not detected in Applications

Hi all.

I had to do a rebuild the other night. Now in the years previous it always showed Office 97 in Applications even though I'm using Office 2000 that isn't the problem. I have CC 2.21.940 installed. Now with Office 2000 installed it doesn't show any Office version in Applications only MS Office Picture Manager thats because I use Photo Editor.

Every other rebuild that I've done shows Office 97 but not this time.

At work I have Office 2003 installed but it always shows Office 2003 and XP.

I don't suppose any one else has found this? ;)

I have Office 2010, it doesn't show anything either :D

I have Office 2000 and it shows Office 2007!

Thats very strange.

I've done another rebuild with WinME yeserday because I couldn't get Win98SE to install without a load of errors.

Office 2000 is now showing up as Office 97 as it used to in Win98SE. Its the way CC finds the info from the registry. I read topics on this problem a long time ago.

Thanks for your comments guys. ;)

I had to do another rebuild last night because I installed DirectX 8.1 and restarted no problem. I installed DirectX 9.0c. It did a restart and wouldn't startup even in Safe Mode. I tried all the restore points but none of them would work, WinME s**t. Office doesn't show up again in Applications. ;)

I've got a similiar problem. I've got Office 2000 and FrontPage XP installed on WinXP-Home-SP3.

CCleaner lists Office XP under Applications, but doesn't list Office 2000. I only realised this when I noticed that the Office Clipboard in Office 2000 isn't emptied when CCleaner runs.

I'm using V2.24.1010, which I think is the latest version.

Sounds like a bug to me? :D

CCleaner supports Office 97, Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007, but (for some reason) not Office 2000. You could try writing a winapp2.ini entry.

Thanks for clearing things up.

If the guys at Piriform are unable to get CCleaner to work with Office 2000, I doubt that I will be able to with a winapp2.ini entry. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Should I post a comment in the CCleaner Suggestions subform?

I know this is an old topic but its relavant to my query. I use Office 2003, 2000 as never been installed but it shows Office 2003 and Office 97 in Applications. ;)

if you search your registry you will find

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common

probably your computer came with a trial of Office 97

export the key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\

and then delete it

if you have no issues with office 2003 (give it ~week) after doing this delete the exported key

export the key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\

No there as been nothing on this laptop, I did a format and rebuilt last week.

Yes it doesn't show now.

Thanks Nergal. ;)
