i have installed office xp on a pc and it works for admin but when the user is logged on it looks for pro.msi and when i put in the cd it will not read it. I have reinstalled it so many times. Is there a way to fix this? why does not it work for certain profiles only when it has all the files installed alreadey/

thanks

Change the user to a POWER user on the local desktop. They don't have the rights to install the .msi files.

Also, move the Office icons to the ALL USERS Start Menu and the desktop. This gives any user on the computer the right to use the program and you won't have to install individually for each user.
