I guess not too many techs frequent this group!!!
I have posted this message a couple of times now and had
no response. I hope third times the charm... ******** I have a series of 2K clients on a Win 2K domain that I have locally installed O2K Pro on. I have tried "Run All From My computer" installations from a network server location, CD-ROM installations locally, as well as installations from a C: drive folder containing a copy of the installation CD files. Each time the results are that whenever a user logs on to the machine under a network account and then launches an Office app, they are asked to install additional componants before the app launches. Sometimes cancelling the installation request will bring up the app, sometimes not. And since sometimes the installation path is not available for an end user, the installation attempt fails. On occasion, (especially with Access) the additional componant installation is looking for files from Disk 2! It fails (even when the original set up files are on the local C: drive) and the application will not launch. This, I presume, is a permissions issue. Is there a group policy or some permission setting I can tweak (preferably on the server since I have about 30 clients involved) that can stop this from happening? Thanks, BJM |

Have you done an administrative install to the network
location?? If you do this you should have no problems. I have installed office 2000-2003 with full success. To do an admin install run setup.exe /a Tony Holland -----Original Message----- I have posted this message a couple of times now and had no response.
