Installing Office 2007 on a Networked Laptop

[C. Davey Utter]

I need help! I have a little home network involving a desktop and a
laptop, both running Windows XP Pro. I have been successful at
installing Office 2007 and OneNote 2007 on the desktop. However, when
I attempt to install either of those programs on the laptop I get an
"Error 1606. Could not access network location %USERPROFILE%\Recent\.
Error 1606. Could not access network location %USERPROFILE%\Recent\."

How can I get these programs to install on the laptop?

copy the files to the hard drive.

Sorry to be so dense, but copy what files to what hard drive?

from the DVD, so it's a local install, not network install. If the other
computer has a DVD drive, install directly from the local DVD drive.

Sorry, still not getting you. Are you saying to copy the
%USERPROFILE% to the Laptop Hard drive, is that correct? Now, where
do I find the %USERPROFILE% file?

I had the Office 2007 CD in the DVD drive of the laptop when all this
is happening.

oh, sorry. I thought you were trying to install from the network. you're
using roaming profiles? try logging in as local admin.

 

[C. Davey Utter]

I am always logged on as local Admin. I think you are on the right
track with the suggestion to copy the %USERPROFILE% file to the laptop
to make it a local installation. I just can't find the %USERPROFILE%
file.
