multiple users have to install office

[Gary Roach]

i'm running office xp under windows xp pro in a domain. i want any user to
be able to log on to any workstation. however, when a user logs on to a
workstation that they haven't logged onto before and tries to run an office
app, they get a message saying that office has not been installed for this
user, please run the installation. i don't want users to have to install
office for themselves whenever they happen to log on to a machine they
haven't used before and i don't want to have to set up everyone on all
machines (kind of defeats the purpose of using domain accounts!). how do i
get around this? any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Gary,

Was Office XP installed under the Administrator login on each machine?

 

[Gary Roach]

No, i installed it under each user. if i install it under the administrator
account, can more than one user use it without reinstalling?

By my understanding, yes. That's how it has worked in my environment--
