Office 2000 domain user setup problem for Outlook

[Neil]

I have set up Office 2000 Professional on a Windows 2000 Pro computer and
installed SP1. The computer logs in to a domain. Whenever I log in as a
domain user and start Outlook, the Windows Installer starts and then a
message pops up;

Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office SR-1
Professional. The windows installer cannot continue.

CD 1 of Office is in the local CD drive and it is the same location that the
install was made from. I click the message away and the installer tries
again and the message pops up a second time. I click it away and Outlook
starts and seems to run fine.

The first time I started Oulook when logged in as a local as well as a
domain administrator, the installer started, found what it was looking for,
and started normally from then on.

I have tried to "run as" a local administrator when logged in as a domain
user, but it just opens the Outlook profile from the local administrator.

Even though it works it is annoying to have to click away these errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Neil

Hello Neil,

This is the same issue I posted on 5/12/05. The only solution I have found
is to elevate the domain user to local administrator and let the SR-1
install proceed. Once that is done, you can demote the domain user back to
the user group and Office apps run fine without the errors.

This is a less than perfect solution as it is time consuming, and must be
done for each user that is going to use the Office suite.

I hope someone has a better answer!
