A user complained that they were having issues with MS Office 2007, and that the installation / configuration dialog kept appearing. I already tried uninstalling Office 2007 and I ended up needing to use the Microsoft Fix It package to uninstall it, since using the control panel failed.

1. I close Microsoft Word.
2. The Installer for Microsoft Office inexplicably opens.
   
3. I then get a dialog that says I need to reboot.
   
4. So I restart...
5. Start Microsoft Word, Word starts up, and everything appears to be fine.
6. I close word, and nothing much happens this is on the administrator account.
7. I think everything is fixed so I call the user over to come try their account out.
8. We login as the user, and the user tries to open a document in Word.
9. The Configuration Progress Window reappears.
10. It runs...and then Word appears.
11. I close it and it appears to work, no window.
12. I open it again and the Configuration Progress window appears yet again...
13. Then Word opens up again, if I exit out and open up again I get the same Configuration Progress window.

I have no idea what is causing the Configuration Progress Window to come up..

Update: I attempted to install two updates: Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB2687400) Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB967642)

Both of these updates failed.

Update: I attempted to install KB967642 manually and it failed.
