Office and Terminal Services

[DJ]

Hi all

We have the following installation

Win 2000 Pro
Terminal services
MS Office Pro 2000
19 Users using Office via Thin Clients

I am trying to install Office under a new user profile and keep getting the
following message

"Windows Installer cannot be accessed"

I have tried to reinstall the installer as per Microsoft Web Page
instructions ( Safe Mode) but have not been successfull

Thanks for any help.

Regards

Why would you install Office for a new user?
Installing it once on the Terminal Server should be enough to
ensure that every user can run Office on the TS, provided that you
have installed Office correctly (server in install mode + using the
terminal server transform file, TermSrvr.mst, from the Microsoft
Office 2000 Resource Kit:
