Microsoft Office 2003

[Sunderwood]

Hi can anyone help me here...

I have installed office 2003 from a network share and allowed all groups access to it that need it so they can installed features if nneds to.

But everytime a user logs on and runs an office application they get a windows installer box? this will only happen for the first time you run office...

Any ideas?

We get around this one by updating the default user profile. We create a local user account on a PC before we image it, logon with this account and make any changes we want to keep in the Default User profile (includes opening an office application once and letting the windows installer box run). Logoff and logon with an admin account, copy the profile of that account over the top of the default user profile.

I have read that you can copy the default user profile to your netlogon share and then this will be used for all PCs on that domain, however I haven't actually tried this yet - one for half-term

Exactly what we did to get rid of the problem.
