Microsoft Framework X library

[Chris]

Thanks Paul. You're like the gazillionth person that told me not to
mess with root, and that's why I've been logging in using another
account I set up a while ago. This account is an administrator with
read/write permissions, so I still can't figure out why I'm getting
the error statement. I'm not using any aliases, I'm working with
Office straight from Applications.Your recommendation is to reload
Office under my administrator account? Thanks for your advice.

When trying to open any program in Office X, I get an error statement
that "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft
Framework X library." The program seems to work fine, but it's a tad
annoying. The only clue I have is that I loaded Office as Root and am
trying to use it under another account, which does have system
administrator privileges. When logged in as root, I don't get the
error statement. Anyone have any ideas?

You've given the answer. Why do you need to be root? It's often
dangerous.
Isn't administrator good enough? Permissions are probably not correct
the
way you're set up. Microsoft Framework X probably needs both read and
execute permissions - at least read permissions - for whoever is
running any
Office app. It expects to be in Microsoft Office X folder in
Applications
folder of the boot drive. Although you can use symlinks or alias files
to
that location (or to Applications folder in the user folder) you can't
just
put it anywhere. So does Microsoft Office X folder have the right
permissions for you as administrator? I think you would do better to
install
Office as administrator, not root.
