After Automated install apps run wrong

[Adam]

I completed an automated install on over 30 computers vai group policy
startup script. All tested ok on 3 systems including a virgin system. But
once I deployed to everyone then it kinda fell apart it seems.

SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS office2003.MST /qb-

Script runs with no known errors.

But on most of not all the computers odd things happen

Every time you open word / excel or a word / excel file the install wizard
runs like its the first time opening the program. As the progress bar
goes... it suddenly runs backwards, then the app launches but without a
document open. Not even a blank doc. If you open the file from within word
or excel the file runs ok. --- This happens every time.

I then login on these systems for the first time as myself, every thing runs
ok. Thought may be a rights issue. Granted user admin rights. No change.
I then remove their windows profile (windows XP) and have them login for
first time. Word and Excel work ok but outlook gives me an error "unable to
load default e-mail folder". I am running Echange 2003 server with the
clients in chace mode. Once I disable the cache mode outlook runs ok.

Any thoughts on my braind dump above? So far I fixed the two systems but I
want to re-enable cache mode and would rather not have to redo everyones
profile, defeats the automated install if I need to still touch every
computer.

Hello Adam,

With office when another user logs on to the machine and opens an office
application for the first time their "profile" is created and that could
be part of the issue.

Yes but it keeps trying to initalize the profile each time you open each app.

But I think I found the fix...
So far worked on 3 systems.
I installed Office SP2 then I use the profile wizard to import the settigs
from my pc. The apps do the normal first time initialization and then run
normal after that.

Going to attack the remaing to day one by one and see.
