I have office 2000 installed on a Windows XP home system and it works well
on the main account. When I log in as Guest it starts the windows installer
and come up with error message 1706 - no valid source. Putting a valid
Office CD's in the drive is no help presumably because the guest account
does not have rights to install software. I had the same problem when I set
up a second user account on the system but solved it by setting the new
account to administrator, letting the installer run (it then found a valid
source) and then setting it back to a limited user. This now works fine.
There is no easy way to set the guest to administrator mode - is there a
back door solution using control.exe or something else?
Alternatively can I copy any files from application folders in the user
accounts that work to the same directories in the guest account area to kid
it into thinking it is installed for the guest user?
