Outlook 2003 and Office Assistant 2000 issues

[Craig Ramsey]

After upgrading some of my users from Outlook 2000 to
Outlook 2003 ( with the rest of Office at 2000), when they
bring up Excel, it gives an error: "The Office Assistant
could not be started. Please repair the Assistant by
running Office 2000 setup and selecting "repair Office
2000"". This will be very annoying if I have to repair
all users as I push it out. Is this a bug or is there a
simple fix for it? I dont think anyone here really uses
the assistant, so it is an annoyance than anything.

Thanks
