Error 1706 "No valid source" - one solution found
I've installed and updated Office 2000 as administrator on a friend's
machine. When she used her non-admin account to run any Office program, she'd get (3 times): "Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. The Windows installer cannot continue" .... after which the program would run normally (apparently). After research, I tried upgrading from Windows Installer 1.1 to Installer 3. No change. Then I tried removing any part of Office set to "Install on 1st use". No change. Then, noticing that the programs ran ok in the administrator account, I upgraded her (Power User) account to the Administrators group. The Installer window appeared next time, completed successfully, and has never been seen since. I've since downgraded her account again (for security reasons). Hope that helps someone else out there. -- #################### ## PH, London #################### |
