Problems upgrading Office 2000 to 2002

Hello,

we got the following problem while upgrading office 2000 to office xp:
I've created a custom installation with own office settings in an ops file
and merged them to an custom mst. I told the mst to delete all previous
versions of office. I also disable all run from network options and the
windows installer shortcuts.

Now, if i install this pakage with setuppro TRANFORMS=standard.mst /qb-! to
a computer which never have had office installed before, all works fine. A
new or already existing user can start the applikation an got the custom
settings. The first time he starts an office prog. the windows installer
appears and sets the registry keys needed. Then the applikation starts
without need of copying anythink from the admin-installation point. That's
what i want...

But if i install this package on a computer with office 2000 installed the
following happens:
- Office 2000 is deinstalled. (thats ok)
- Office 2002 is installed, the custom settings were applied to current
login user (already ok)
- If a new user or an existing users log in and start an office application
the windows installier appears to write registry settings to HKCU but then he
ask for the the admin Installation point. I don't want that every user had to
copy files from the distribution point.
What can i do to make office not want copying files from distribution point
after upgrading from office 2000?

Thanks for your help
