CreateObject("Word.Application") lasts 2-3 minutes !

[sigiK]

I have an application, which creates an instance of word (visible=false), loads a document, fill in some data and close document & word.

using:
XP + Office2003/2007 --> this process needs between 2-5 sec
Win7 + Office2003/2007/2010 --> also 2-5 sec
XP + Office 2010 --> 2-3 MINUTES !!

i have to use late binding for supporting different environments. [WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")]

when i take a look to taskmanager, there are 2-3 MSIEXEC-processes, which are started with "CreateObject" and take a lot of time before the instance of WINWORD is created!?

ANY HINTS?? THANK YOU!

XP + Office 2010 --> 2-3 MINUTES !!

msiexec is used in conjunction with .msi installation files. It sounds to me like there is an issue with the office installation itself. I have seen this in the past where opening an office app has caused the setup wizard to do something for a while every single time before opening the app. this has usually only happened when I pirated a copy of office. Thank goodness for the home user program now I don't have to pirate a copy lol.

on multiple - with different (all legal!) office 2010 professional plus -versions.
i also set up a vmware-session with new XP and new Office - same result.
