Office 2003/Windows 2003 TS Problems

[Mathew Plattz]

We have a TS server which I am trying to get Office 2003 Professional
on.

The basic problem I am having is: Only Domain Administrations can run
the office suite. (word etc). When a normal Domain User logs into
the box via mstsc.exe, when they try to run any office program MSI
installer starts up and they get:

"Only Administrators have Permission to Add, remove or configure
software during a terminal services remote session. If you want to
install or configure software on this server contact your network
administrator."

Event log shows the following:

Event ID: 1001
Detection of product '{91110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}', feature
'PubPrimary' failed during request for component

Event ID: 1004

'ProductFiles', component '{3EC1EAE0-A256-411D-B00B-016CA8376078}'
failed. The resource 'H:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\OFFICE11\MSO.DLL' does not exist.

Note: H: == User Profile's home directory.

I tried completely uninstalling every Microsoft product (Visio,
Office, etc), then installing Office 2003 the way Microsoft HOWTO says
(From Add/Remove Programs -> Add Program) - but the same problem
occurs and nothing changed.

Can someone please spare the time to help me out on this one. I've
searched for weeks, read basically of the microsoft.public newgroup,
and most of microsoft.com which mentions anything. Also read the
eventid.net links and all.

Just an update.

It seems, if I add any Domain User into the Admin group of the box
(which is a member of the domain), it will work fine. MSIInstaller
starts up and installs without a issue. Then, I can remove them from
the Admin group, and because the files have already been copied into
h:/profile files/common files/microsoft shared/ - it works.
