damsel in distress..

I've installed Office on our school PCs logged in as an
Administrator. I can run and access Word for instance as
an admin user. However, other users who log into the same
PC are asked to install Office. Is there a way to correct
this? Thx.

Hi D. P.,

What version of Office, what version of Windows
and what method did you use to install it?

Is this a volume license, retail or OEM Office product
you're working with?

We're having the the EXACT problem here. Its Office XP on
windoze 2k SP3, with XP2003 server. Seems to be some kind
of permissions thing? its making the beginning of the new
term hell!

It seems to be a common problem because the same question has been asked in
this newsgroup, albeit in terms of one of the products in Office or in terms
of the whole Office suite, close to half a dozen times this week.

I have the same problem, but with Office 2000 on W2K, and I have all the
updates for each installed.

I am also concerned about what effect the fix, whatever it is, will have on
data already stored in Outlook. I have found that if I just cancel the
install, the dialog will disappear (sometimes I have to do this twice) and I
can the run the application apparently without further trouble.

Cheers,

Ted

I have the same problem with Office XP Std running on
Windows XP Home/Small Office. The non-administrator users
cannot access the C:\ drive, so the Office software can't
function. BTW, I tried the trick of "initializing" the
pathways for the limited users by setting their
permissions to administrator, then opening the Office
applications in each account, then switching their
permissions back to limited. This worked initially
(once), but on the second log-in to those accounts, the
Office applications wouldn't run.
