Office 2003 Always Configures when Starting as Non-admin
I've installed Office Professional 2003 on an brand new Windows Server 2003
machine, as local administrator. For security purposes, I created another user and put that user in the Power Users group (it's definitely not in the Administrators group). The first time I log in as this new user and run one of the Office 2003 apps, I get an installer dialog telling me that Windows is configuring Office. I expect this. However, whenever I try to run our in-house developed VB6 applications (the EXE files were simply copied, not installed through Windows installer), I always get the installer dialog box saying: "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" After 5 or 8 iterations of this dialog box and progress meter, the application open and function just fine. Our VB6 apps have no connection whatsoever with Office, let along Office 2003. Further, if I take the new user account and put it in the Administrators group, when I log on as that user, the VB6 applications run without any problems or installer dialog boxes. Or, if I run the VB6 apps as the local administrator, no problems either. Any help/suggestions?????? Thanks |
