That link helped. Here's the solution: You have to run the Office program as Administrator, then accept the EULA. The problem is, it's not obvious how to do that with Win 7. The out-of-the-box setup does not set you up as Administrator and you can't simply add an Administrator user from a non-administrator account. There's probably a trick to do that too.<br />
<br />
Nor does &quot;run as administrator&quot; appear as an option in WIN 7 when right-clicking a program or shortcut. To do that, you have to do shift-right-click on the program/shortcut. Then you can run as administrator at which point accepting the EULA works.<br />

Shame on Microscoft for not fixing this by now. I've seen postings on this problem going back more than 2 years.

I've just installed Office 2003 on a new Windows 7 computer. Every time I open an Office program I get the EULA notice and I have to click OK. I've come across this solution before, but now I can't find it. I've added the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE &gt;&nbsp;SOFTWARE &gt;&nbsp;Microsoft &gt;&nbsp;Office &gt;&nbsp;12.0 (the 12.0 key wasn't there), and Changed 12.0's permission to Users = Full Control. That didn't help. That was a Vista solution. <br />
