can not launch any (x86) apps after the install of O365 - Microsoft Community

my system configuration acer 4820t, intel i5 processor, 4gb ram , 1tb hdd.  windows 7 home premium.

i downloaded o365 on may13, not 365 install properly.  365 install kept telling me had other office products still installed on computer.  @ point gave trying find loose ends of other office products called the 365 number , wound on in philippines.  spent on 3 hours removing left on pieces of office.  btw, before happened, had office 2010 professional installed , office apps worked fine.  between end of the call philippines , next day level 2 support call nothing working in office arena.  tried 64bit version , 32bit version on , over.  guess @ point gave up. 

the root of problem none of (x86) programs launch.  there no error message codes issued, receive following message.

windows cannot find c:\program files (x86)\beyond compare 3\bcompare.exe  .  make sure typed name correctly , try again.

this occurs whether click on desktop icon or go directly x86 folder , open beyond compare folder , click on .exe file, same result.

i have windows 7 system , decided @ registry of working system , system using these instructions.

to resolve issue, can reset registry settings default settings. this, follow these steps.

1. click startbutton , type regedit in search box
2. right-click regedit.exe in returned list , click run administrator
3. browse following registry key:
   
   hkey_classes_root\.exe
4. with .exe selected, right-click (default) , click modify…
5. change value data: exefile
6. browse , click on following registry key:
   
   hkey_classes_root\exefile
7. with exefileselected, right-click (default) , click modify…
8. change value data: to "%1" %*
9. browse , click on following registry key:
   
   key_classes_root\exefile\shell\open
10. with openselected, right-click (default) , click modify…
11. change value data: "%1" %*
12. close registry editor , restart pc

everything looked same.   in right area launching x86 programs?   not want have reload computer because says cannot fix problem.

o365 windows office software,an add-on win 7 or win os...either way,regedit not the

place fix/repair any/all service add-ons..youre best bet,1st edit windows components,.net must

be enabled,next edit user account,one must administrator install software,plus turn off parental

software.as install,download,or r.click run icon,set run in administrator setting.plus

try link.

also,in regedit editing,the normal way l.click on text,go edit/modify

set to  1  from  0  or add new values,% isn't default set..actually,microsoft has said

"never edit registry"
