Office xp Setup

D

Darren

Hi,

I am currently installing Microsoft Office Xp via Group Policy to my
Desktops .

The problem I do have is, if I deploy Office XP to desktops where the users
are not Administrators, it wont let me start up any of the products to use
them. It gives me an error saying. “You do not have administrative
privileges to install this application “.

The way I get round it is remotely connecting to the pc, (whilst that
particular user is logged on) and deleting the following Registry key.

Computername\hkey_users\s-1-5-21-402226939-1933317608\3430480044-6485\software\microsoft\installer\Features An
Computername\hkey_users\s-1-5-21-402226939-1933317608\3430480044-6485\software\microsoft\installer\Products



If there are any keys in here ( feature ) beginning with 9040 and in the
Products Key beginning with 9040, you delete the keys and the user is then
allowed to go into there office products.

As you can imagine, when having a Rollout of 40 pc’s at a time, this can get
time consuming and frustrating.

Is there any other way I can get around this problem apart from the Registry
key fix.

Many Thanks

Darren Bradley
