I've tried the suggestions in tips and tricks (modifying msaccess.exe.manifest), however I can't get rid of the error "Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this application. A repair attempt failed or was cancelled by the user. The application will now shut down."
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Edit: I have just installed office 2010 in a fresh bottle, activated by telephone, and then installed SP1. Office 2010 starts up fine now!
