Scenario: 200+ PCs, Win2k & WinXP, Office 2K & Office XP mix. Users have Power user rights & roaming profiles.
I just deployed Office XP via Group Policy assigning the package to each machine. No problem save one. On WinXP machines, the Windows Installer service tries to re-install the old Office 2000 when user opens up an Office application. If user cancels the install process, it opens up just fine.
I think this is an issue with roaming profiles but not exactly sure. This seems to only happen with Windows XP clients and NOT all of them either. Some Windows XP client worked with no problems. This is why I am confused. I cannot sucessfully replicate the problem in a lab environment.
Does anyone have any fixes for this. I have searched the knowledge base at Microsoft, searched Google but found very little, and also searched TechNet, still no help. maybe I am just not looking in the right place.
A penny for your thoughts!
