Office XP sp3 and IE woes

P

PuterGeekGirl

We just deployed Office XP sp3 today to the whole company.
Have 2 machines that every time the users try to open any
office product, or IE it tries to go thru the install
again, where its trying configure the install and stuff.
Only common denominator that makes em different is they
have Project 2003 installed as well.

Help??

Windows 2000 sp 4 on both machines.

RESOLUTION:
=============
OFFXP: Error Message: This Application Requires the Windows Installer to Run
View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q290139
SYMPTOMS
When you double-click a file such as Excel.exe from a network
administrative installation source for Office XP, you receive the following
error message:

This application requires the Windows installer to run. Would you like to
install this service now?
If you click Cancel, nothing happens. If you click OK, you receive the
following error message:

This application must be installed to run. Please run Setup from the
location where you originally installed the application.
The Windows Installer service is installed after you receive the first
error message, so if you double-click a file such as Excel.exe again, you
only receive the second error message.
CAUSE
This error message occurs because the Office program was not installed by
running Setup. For example, if you receive the error message in the
"Symptoms" section of this article when you double-click a shortcut, it may
be that the shortcut was installed by an edition of Office that is no
longer installed on your computer. To test this possibility, double-click
the program file (for example, Excel.exe), and determine whether you
continue to receive the error message.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, double-click the Setup.exe file in the root of
the installation source to install Office.

NOTE: The Office program files for Office XP are now contained inside a
cabinet file on the CD-ROM.
