I have completed a clean installation of Win XP (complete
with all updates to date). I have then installed parts
of MS Office 2000 - Photodraw, Publisher and Frontpage -
not included in MS Office 2003 Standard, together with
any related office updates. I then installed MS Office
2003 Standard. Finally, I created user accounts with
limited access for the kids.
All parts of Office 2003, Publisher 2000 and Frontpage
2000 work fine in the administrator account. However, in
the limited user account the system attempts to reinstall
the software whenever I try to start Publisher or
Frontpage i.e. the Office 2000 components. When
attempting to reinstall, error 1706 is produced ( - No
valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office
2000 SR-1 Disc 2. The Windows installer cannot continue)
despite the disc being in the CD drive. Attempting to
reinstall the product as directed is not possible.
Cancelling the error message box and related boxes
appears to allow the software to be used normally.
Can you suggest a solution to the problem of being fine
with the administrator account but problematic with the
limited user account?
Photodraw will not start at all - I understand this
clashes with hot fix KB824141.
