Error 1706: No valid source....

I have a computer with WinXP and Word 2000 plus Excel
2003/Outlook2003. We need Word 2000 for a specific
application. Everything was fine until I did the updates
for the Word2000. We have the users as restricted but did
the updates as Admin. When starting Word as a restricted
user, it give the error:
"Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product
Microsoft Word 2000 SR-1. The Windows installer cannot
continue."
It will only give this error when logged in as the
restricted user. I don't want to give the users any more
rights than they absolutely need so how can I get around
this?
I found the KB article relating to something similiar but
it didn't work. I have tried to see what part of the
registry is being accessed so I can change the values if
necessary, but no luck.
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance,

Jerry
