Office 2003 setup in Terminal Services 2003

[Andrew Skoog]

I am attempting to install Office 2003 Professional
Edition on to a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server that is
setup as an application server.

In both cases of my install, I was logged in as
administrator. The first install was a typical install
done when you put in the CD and the install program pops
up. The second install was done from the add/remove
programs folder with the add programs button as directed
by one of the articles in Knowledge Base.

Despite either way of installing, users that are not
logged in as administrators get the error that "the
program is not available, contact your system
administrator." Office works fine if you are logged in
as an administrator after installing.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or is there something
else that has to be done? ?

I've read that the account used to install applications must be a member of LOCAL ADMINISRATORS group. Domain Admins (not in the local group) may not be adequate due to Terminal Services specific registry settings

I'll be doing the same stuff in a few weeks time and am looking for technical information regarding Administraive installs, MSI & MST based installs (as relevant to Terminal servers) so would like to know how youre getting on. (e-mail address removed)
