How do I get Office to quit prompting the user to install components...?
I have a PC what had an older version of Office, 2000 I believe.
What I did first is installed Office 2003 logged in as the user, but logged into Add/Remove Programs as me the Domain Admin. I told it to remove the older version of Office. Then the user complained that every time he opened any Office app it wants to do it's mini install like he had never opened it before. Since then I've uninstalled both versions of Office, ran the Office cleanup tool, reinstalled Office 2003, but he's reporting that it still wants to do the mini install. I figured out that if I give him Local Admin rights Office doesn't do its mini install. What else can I do to resolve this? I don't want to have to give him any special rights if I don't have to... Should I have deleted the Office parts of the Registry tree? Any advice would be appreciated. Kelvin |

Yes, Windows installer and then, Please wait while Microsoft Office
Standars... When I open Outlook in pops up with Configureing Outlook, Migrating Account Settings, Migrating Preferences, Creating Welcome Message, Importing User Data... I have to make him a Local Admin for it to stop doing all this installing.... "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ... What is the meaning of Mini Installs ???
