On W98 system using W2k server , when I log in as a user other than admin MS Office products give message that this program must be installed to be run, as I have hundreds of users it is inconvenient to copy admin profiles on top of other profiles. I have enable profiles in system Policy is this wrong? How do I avoid Office problem?

Well, sounds like the MS Office programs were initially installed on each workstation via the admin user group. When users of a different group log on and try to access the program, you get the message "must be installed". To provide programs to users across a network, a .msi installation package for users to install via add/remove programs is the best way.

Well, ok, many will disagree with .msi packages as "the best way", as there are many ways to make programs available across a network to users. I stand corrected.
