I created a MSP file to install Office 2007 and enabled "Prevent
installation prompts when WDS is not present" setting in the MSP file.
This way the users won't get the prompt if they don't have Windows
Desktop Search 3.0 installed on their computers. After installing
Office 2007, if I have a local administrator rights on my XP (SP2) or
Windows 2003 Server computer, surely I won't see the Windows Desktop
Search compoment install prompt.
However, when I don't have the local administrator rights, after I
launch Outlook 2007, I got the promt saying "Windows Desktop Search is
not currently installed or not up to date. Outlook will no be able to
provide fast search results when using the new Instatant Search
functionality unless this Windows component is installed."
It appears that the user needs some permissions on some Office program
folders or registry on the local computer to access the settings in
the MSP files. Does anyone know what permissions the local user needs
to make the settings of MSP work? and in what folders and/or what
registry settings?
This puts a big challenge on us since, 1) not everyone users have the
local administrator rights on the local computuer; 2) We don't want to
install Windows Desktop Search on some computers such as Termnial
Servers and don't want to give the users the local administrator
rights.
Can MS online support or Office MVP give some explanations on this?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dean
