Office 2003 always configures when starting as non-admin

I've installed Office 2003 on an brand new install of XP SP1 machine
as local administrator.

When I create another local account, USER, which is not an
administrator, every time I run office, I get "Please wait while
Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003".

I saw another article in the newsgroup and a note on microsoft KB that
says that Office cannot be installed by non-admin users, but I've
already installed as a non-admin user and get the same thing.

If I take the local account, USER, and put it in the administrator
group, when USER logs in, Office start right up. when I take USER out
of the Administrator group, when USER logs in, office gives the error
above?

I'm sure there is a trick here, but just can't seem to find it. I
don't want to set windows installer to always run as admin, since I
want to keep the machines pretty locked down.

Thanks

-Brian
