group for Win2k security issues. This is as close as I can get. If this is
a problem, I apologize.
In a nutshell:
1) Win2k became unbootable.
2) I did a clean install (format c:\, then install Windows).
- then performed all recommended updates @ Windows Update (=SP-4 + a
couple of pre- SP-5 security patches)
3) I installed Office 2k as Admin.
- Went to Office Update, used Auto Update to install all recommended +
2-3 tools that I use.
Everything woks fine if I use it as Admin. The problem is trying to use Off
2k as Power User (my normal profile; I am the only user on a standalone
computer.)
The problem:
1) Any Office program I open first opens Windows Installer.
2) Then an error message: 1706, no valid source.
3) If I click on the data1.msi, I then get, "The Administrator has set
policies to prevent this installation."
a. If I click "OK' on the message box, I'm back to the error 1706.
b. If I click "OK" on that message box, Installer starts again.
c. If I keep on clicking "OK" each time it pops up, I eventually get to
a working program.
4) When I click to use various features of the program, (Help is the worst)
the process starts all over.
- Keep on clicking "OK", and it eventually works.
Notes:
1) The only customization I did to the Office installation was to choose
"Run from CD" for the clip art, and to select "Run on first use" for a few
more features; ones I'm less likely to use.
2) I made no special security settings for MS Office, and a very few, very
limited ones for anything else.
This is driving me nuts. Please, someone help!
