I really need help on this.

[Troy]

I've posted this message several times and am quite shocked that no one has
experienced this.

My problem is that after setting up a W2K installation and installing Office
2000 pro as administrator. Everytime another user logs on to the computer
they need admin priviliges and are asked for the installation orginal cd.

I would like to find a way to install office once and not have it required
everytime a new user logs onto the computer and wants to use office.

Thanks

I realize some of these do not EXPLICITLY address your issue but as I believe it is an installer issue you might be able to get some help by their combination.

well, first thing i do is create an administrative install ... put the
cd in and run CD:\setup.exe /a - point it at a folder you want the
install in, put in the license number and you then have an
administrative install of office in that folder

for laptops that disconnect from network i always copy this folder to
the laptop and install office form there ... for desktops i create a
hidden share ($ after the name of the share) with the folder and install
office from the network path as in: .. \\server\hiddenshare$\Off2k
\setup.exe

you can deploy by group policy or other ways too but i havent tried them
yet, but the above definately works.

I suspect you might have received more replies if you
had used a meaningful subject line, e.g. "Admin priviliges
issue with MS Office". This is a busy group, and contributors
tend to go for posts that relate to their own area of expertise.
