PROBLEM[/B]:

-MICROSOFT OFFICE 2003 INSTALLED ON A WINDOWS XP PRO COMPUTE
WITH TWO USER ACCOUNTS.
THE USER ACCOUNT THAT THE PROGRAM WAS INSTALLED ON WORKS PROPERLY
THE OTHER USER ACCOUNT (REGARDLESS OF ADMIN/USER/POWER USER) RUNS TH
INSTALLER EVERY TIME THE APP STARTS, THE INSTALLER RUNS WITH/WITHOU
PROBLEMS AND THE SOFTWARE CONSISTENTLY STARTS UP.
THE INSTALLER PROCESS CAUSES HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.-

*SOLUTION*:
THE ACCOUNT THAT INSTALLED PROPERLY HAS A COMPLETE REGISTRY KEY.
MY COMPUTER\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFIC
Right click on the "Office" folder, and choose Export
(Save as "Office.reg" in a common location)

Log onto the account that is encountering the Installer
Open the same key:
MY COMPUTER\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFIC
Delete the entire key (right-click Office, choose delete)
Go to File, Import, ("office.reg")
Start Microsoft Office Applications without the installer
