I loaded Office 2000 on a machine via a networked server. I then took the machine to a remote site not connected to my LAN.

The problem is that everytime I launch a Office program the Windows installer pops up and prompts me for the location ofthe Data1. file. I have to hit cancel and the programs launch. I brought the CD-rom and told the installer to use the DAta1 from the CD-rom to no avail. It is telling me the network resources are not available.

I have tried to uninstall officebut again I am getting the installer asking me for the location of the file.

Any suggestions?

we had a similar problem, and whay we ended up doing was just copting the full Office cd to a partition on the hardrive and downloaded a version of free software called banishcd from analogx.com so when it calls for the cd it gets directed to the harddrive partition that has the Office image on it.
