Can the guest account be temporarily set to administrator mode? I ask
because I have office 2000 installed on a Windows XP home system and it
works well on the main account. When I log in as Guest it starts the
windows installer and come up with error message 1706 - no valid source.
Putting valid Office CD's in the drive is no help. I had the same problem
when I set up a second user account on the system but solved it by setting
the account to administrator, letting the installer run (it then found a
valid source) and then setting it back to a nornal user. This now works
fine.
There is no easy way to set the guest to administrator - is there a back
door solution using control.exe or something else?
Alternatively can I copy any files from application folders in the user
accounts that work to the same directories in the guest account area to kid
it into thinking it is installed?
