Office 2000 Pro on Windows XP - Limite Account use

J

John McG

Have recently upgraded PC and am now using Windows XP Home Edition. To keep
the kids happy, they now have their own log-ins as "Limited Account" users (I
am the "Computer Administrator" user). I have installed MS Office 2000 Pro
(fully updateed from Windos Update site) and have no problems running all
Office applications on my log in. However, when I try to use Office on one
of the "Limited Accounts", I get the following message - "Error 1706 - No
valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1
Professional. The Windos installer cannot continue."
I can ignore this box and the program will start (e.g. MS Word), however,
the kids get confused when they use it. I have tried starting each program
with the Office CD in, but this makes no difference. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance...

After much searching of KB/TechNet etc, I've discovered that an
"AllowLockdownMedia" command was required in the Registry. Problem Solved.
