Launching an Office application starts AutoCAD installation dialog.

Trying to run Word or Excel starts an AutoCAD setup dialog prompting to insert the AutoCAD installation CD (configuration).

This is probably caused by an improperly installed Office add-on module (macro), which mistakenly refers to the last installed application.

Uninstall the complaining MS Office add-on module (e.g. scan utilities, convertors, document management integration tools, OCR, indexing services, etc.). You can also easily disable add-on modules through the security settings: in Word go to Tools > Macro > Security, and on the "Trusted publishers" (sources) tab uncheck the option "Trust all installed add-ins and templates". On next launch, Word will prompt you to enable the individual add-on modules and you can disable them.
