Publisher starts with Windows Installer always

[Cal Miyatake]

I have a customer who installed MS Publisher 2000 as the
local administrator. The local administrator can launch
MS Publisher fine. But, when she logs in as her Domain
Username, it continually starts by launching the Mini
Windows Installer for Publisher and looks for DATA2
location. Even if she gives the DATA2 location and goes
into Publisher THE NEXT time it does it all
again....starts mini install and asks for DATA2. She
points to it again and she can get to Publisher. This
always happens. I'm perplexed because the administrator
profile does not have this issue. I even tried to
uninstall Publisher as the local administrator and place
the user in the Local Administrator group then login as
the user and install Publisher....same thing happens. Can
anyone help?

Publisher must be installed for each user.

There is no workaround or any other solution.

Many Thanks. I will try reinstalling a full version over
the existing one and replacing the Windows Installer with
the current version.

My customer is using Windows 2000 professional with SP3
and Publisher 2000. I will report back with the
results. Again, many thanks for your assistance.
