Excel Doesn't Open
I've never seen this as a result of reregistering excel--in fact, I've never
seen this error at all.
If you can still open excel, I'd try Help|detect and repair
Or if that doesn't work, I'd try re-installing excel.

I don't have a guess why you get the installation process starting, but you can
try this to see if it helps with the doubleclicking on the file.
Saved from a previous post:
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double
clicking on the file in windows explorer:
Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications"
(xl2003 menus)
or
Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications
that use DDE"
(xl2007)
--- or ---
Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver
The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

Often, especially after a reboot when I click on an excel to open it I get a
message:
Windows Cannot find (the filename) Make sure you typed the name correctly
and then try again". The installer for Office opens and starts running but
stops and opens a new excel file. Then I have to go to fileopen. and find
the file.
This is very frustrating. I have repaired, completely reinstalled Office
from the original Disc (twice), tried the unchecking ignore other programs
box (it wasn't checked) There's just nothing else I know to try.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had already tried the "ignore other applications" option without success. Now I tried your second recommendation to run excel /unregserver and
excel /regserver I got a curious error message considering all of the times
I have reinstalled from my disc. The message is:
One of your object libraries (stdole32.tlb) is missing or damaged. Please
run setup to install it.
Any ideas what to do now? Apparently the reinstall is missing the problem. I
might add that I have been using this copy of the Office Disc for at least 3
years and this is a new problem.
Thanks for any help!!
