Error with Visual Studio 2003

[Guest]

I'm trying to teach a coworker how to program in the .Net environment. I had
an extra copy of Visual Studio 2003 that I installed on his laptop. It was
working, but when we had our first "lesson" yesterday, trying to run VS gave
the error that this user does not have permission to run this application. It
was installed for all users under his login. I tried to repair it, but that
did not work. I tried to uninstall VS so I could reinstall it, but received
the error that the install order could not be verified. Other than taking a
bat to his laptop, any ideas of how to fix the problem?

Thank you,
Susan

Is this person an administrator on his/her machine?

Yes. Our IT group is brave and gives all of us admin.

Other than making sure that everything was uninstalled (there are actually a
half-dozen separate software installations involved in installing VS.Net),
and re-installing, I don't have enough information to make any other
recommendation.
