Transform path error

[Chuck LeClaire]

I'm running XP Home Edition with MS Office 2000. When I installed Office, I
was the only user. I have now added five others and none of the Office
applications is available to the other users (everything still works fine
for me). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office -- it still works for
me, and the Office programs show up in the other users Start menu. However,
when I try to start the applications while logged on as another user, I get
the following message:

"Windows Installer: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified
transform paths are valid."

If anyone has any idea what's going on (and, more importantly, how to fix
it), I would really appreciate hearing your ideas.

Thanks.

Hi Chuck,

Have you tried installing it while logged on as one of the other users?

Rick,

Thanks for the tip. I have tried what you suggest, setting one of the other
users up as an administrator. When the CD autoruns the Windows Installer
pops open, then I get the transform path error again.

Last time I uninstalled Office, I ran an app called RegSeeker to clean all
the old junk out of my Registry. That didn't fix the problem, so I'm still
puzzled.

Thanks again.
