I had Office XP pro (2002) working, but I started to get this message. "Microsoft Office Access has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application".
I uninstalled Office and reinstalled it completely. Same error again, with all the Office applications.
I uninstalled Office 2002 and installed Office 2003. Same error.
In Microsoft KB I found the error could be due to permission rights, but I am administrator of my machine (Windows XP), so this is not the case.
Here I found that it could be due to a pirated version, but this is a regular version (I have the original CD with the Keys) and the workaround of replacing or deleting MSO.DLL didn't work.
Can anyone please help me?

Microsoft provided a tool(Office Removal Wizard) to completely remove all Office apps when a manual uninstall did not resolve the issue. I have had to use this many times with older versions of Office. Should be more info here:

I would also be sure that you install office as a user with admin rights and then run one of the Office applications after the install. This creates some registry keys needed for other users.
