Error message when you try to open the Office Customization Tool: "Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found"

SYMPTOMS

You use the Office Customization Tool to customize an installation of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. You try to open the Office Customization Tool by typing the following command at a command prompt:
setup.exe /admin
When you do this, you may receive the following error message:
Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if you do not have a volume-license version of the 2007 Office system. The Office Customization Tool is available only with volume-license versions of the 2007 Office system. This tool requires an Admin folder in the 2007 Office system source image. If the Admin folder does not exist, you will receive this error message.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
