I am installing Office 2000 in an enterprise environment
with the admin account. When standard users access the
program the software sometimes asks for disk two although
I install all the software to run from the computer. Any
ideas or fixes for this?
.
I install all products from the network. (Large
organization)
Office 2000 uses the MS Windows Installer - which means
that whenever a product needs a component or to fix
something it seeks the installation source. There are many
components that may not have been set to run from your
hard drive.
The best thing to do is follow Microsoft instructions for
setting up an Administrative Installation point on a
network (Shared Folder). Map drive F: to the share and
install your products from that share. As long as your
users have a mapping to Drive F: and that share everytime
they log in, this would solve the need for having any CDs
available. You can also use a UNC path for installations
if you don't want to use a drive letter (Ex.
\\MyServer\Office2000).
To fix the installation source path of your installation,
there are command-line parameters to force an update for
your installation. Office 2000 will not change files or
the path, by default, if you just re-install.
All these details can be found in Microsoft's
knowledgebase.
