Default Annoying MS Office Problem when Logging on.

I have primarily Windows 2000/XP workstations with Office 2000 or 2003
installed. When a new user logs into the workstation, opens a MS Office
program, the system always asks for the dang Office CD to complete (they are
not administrators either and I won't give them admin rights). Why
Microsoft!?! Why??? I end up having to create a standard profile with
Office, copy it to the default profile, and then I have to delete everyones
user profiles. Now they will get the updated default profile and they will
not be prompted for the CD. It sucks when you have a lot of workstations, a
lot of users (with there own profile preferences), and want to upgrade them
to the latest version of Office. Not only that, when you add Service Packs,
it asks for that dang CD again. I deployed a few Office Service Packs but
stopped when everyone was prompted for the CD. We have a corporate license
and it sucks because of this very problem. Come on Microsoft!

Anyone know how to easily fix this without the hassle?

Thanks

Set up a deployment of office on the network and then instal the office from
there
Make teh office install pointa public share.
then when a new user logs on it will configure from there.
