From a previous posting by Ada Pan (MSFT) concerning the 1706 error in Office 2000 SR1 Premium
Hello,
Based on my research, Office 2000 SR-1 is installed from a CD or a copy of
the CD on the network. If a non-admin user launches any of the office
products, i.e. Word, the installer will run every time the applications are
launched. The user will receive an error 1706 which is that Office needs
the source available. The non-admin user does not have the correct
permissions to utilize the CD or the source is not available for them.
To resolve it, please perform the following steps:
01. Log on as the local administrator or domain administrator to the
machine. Implement the registry key policy:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"AllowLockdownMedia"=dword:00000001
"AllowLockdownBrowse"=dword:00000001
02. The feature, NotInstalled, is requesting the source - this feature is
linked to a file named Extract.exe. This file resides on the source which
is a CD-Rom. The file is not crucial to the functioning of the Office
products. We remove the feature and resynchronize to the source location,
i.e. CD Rom or admin install point of the same Office SKU (Professional to
Professional, etc.):
msiexec /i CD-rom drive letter:\data1.msi REINSTALLMODE=vm
REMOVE=NotInstalled /L*V C:\resync.txt
NOTE: If you want to resynchronize for the admin install point of Office,
then you can run on the client machine (as the local admin) the following
command line:
msiexec /fvm <admin install point location>\data1.msi /L*V C:\resync.txt

The Knowledge Base articles on this error don't solve my problem, at least not the ones I found.
I'm running Win 2K, with Office 2K. I'm the only user on the machine, but have several accounts. Office works fine on my normal account, but recently I set up a new account. Each time I log on to the new account, I get this error message, saying it can't find the install CD for Office Premium SR-1. It doesn't matter if I put the correct CD in before or after booting up--I still get the message. In case it's relevant, I'm installing from my (old) MSDN subscription. I've tried putting CD-1 and CD-2 in, and neither one works.
Any suggestions welcome!
