Setting-up New User Account

R

Rick

I am trying to set up a new user account.

I am running SP4. I added a new user in Users and Passwords. When I try
to access certain applications from the new account, eg MS Office, I get
a "Software must be installed from the original location..." error.
Reinstalling the app has no effect.

er, what's up Doc?

Yes. I had to use the administrator password to get the rights.

Did you reinstall the applications while logged on as the new user?

Seems to me that should have worked. Check the read and write
permissions on the Office program and Windows System folders. You might
want to ask the folks in the Office newsgroups what they think about this.

It is not just Office, it is happening to other non microsoft
applications like Paintshop.

What about Dave's suggestion? Any success there? Check the Event Log
to see if any errors are logged when the user tries to use the programs.

The gremlins got into my reply to Dave, I see!

Yes, I tried setting the permission to administrator but that had no
effect. Also there is an Administrator account but that does not have
any access to the same apps. This is really bizarre.

And the Event Log? And the Read/Write Permissions on the folders?
Other than that it could be a permissions issue on Registry Keys.
Administrators should have access to these programs.
