Office 2K Apps Don't Work for Win2K Users

[Jay M.]

I'm running Win2K Professional and Office 2000
Professional on the same box. After creating two new user-
level accounts, I try to execute Office apps (Word, Excel,
etc.) while logged on as those users. That's where I get
problems.

When I click on the .EXE for the app itself, the system
prompts me to install Office and insert the Office CD #1.

If I click directly on a Word or Excel file on the
Desktop, it tells me that the file is not associated with
any program and to create an association by going into the
File Types menu.

When I'm logged in as myself (as administrator), this does
not happen and everything is fine.

What am I doing wrong so that I can't access the Office
programs via the other user profiles?

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Try re-running setup and choose a custom install, and make sure you select
all apps to run locally from this computer. See if that helps.
