Are you getting this “Microsoft Office Word Has Not Been Installed For The Current User” error whenever you’re opening your MS Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and when you click the OK button, the application closes? This is because Microsoft has released updates that caused many users to get this error message.

Even when you uninstall and re-install the application, it wouldn’t fix the problem. One of the reasons why this problem occurs is because you used the pirated version of Microsoft Office and you’ve recently installed the latest updates.

Microsoft Office Word Has Not Been Installed For The Current User Error

Is there a way to fix this? Yes there is! Some people are able to resolve this error by using system restore but here’s a simpler way to fix this problem.

The file that is causing this error is MSO.DLL located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11 for Office 2003 and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12 for Office 2007. All you have to do is to search for the older MSO.DLL file in your computer and copy it, replacing the current one in Program Files. Some people found two versions of MSO.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\…..

If you can’t find the other backed up MSO.DLL file in your computer, you can just delete the current MSO.DLL file from Program Files and then do a repair or reinstallation of Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007. That would restore the older version of MSL.DLL from the installation CD.
