First time a new user logs on...

P

Peter

Hello

I am a admin at a medium sized company and we install all the software for our users. We have a problem the first time people logs on to the computer

We use a adminaccount to install everything and we launches all of the office programs to be sure the setup has succeded. But when the user logs on to the computer and starts any of the office programs it starts some kind of setup and wants the installation files. As a securitymeasure the users doesn't have access to the installation files. A way around this is to insert a cd with the installation files when the user logs on for the first time but that is time consuming and not a good way

Does anyone know how to install to not have that problem
Or any other suggestions

Thank you
/Peter

When you first install office, do the custom install.
Click NEXT and a screen should come up showing the
different programs that will be installed. Right click on
the top item, click on 'Run all from my computer'. All of
the boxes will turn white. Then continue and finish the
install.

If office is already installed, if you change the user to
a PowerUser, then put in the CD when you get the message,
it takes care of the error. However, if you have several
users for that computer, you will have to do this several
times. Best just to uninstall and reinstall using the
above method.

Hope that helps.

Oh P.S., in the second paragraph in my previous message.
If you make the user a PowerUser and put in the CD, when
you are finished, log back on as Admin and take away the
PowerUser status, and it still works. The install error
doesn't come up for that user anymore even tho' he/she is
no longer a PowerUser.
