I installed Office 2000 (on an XP machine out of the box) as administrator and now when I logon as a regular user that is in a domain I get the message the "1706. No valid source code for SR-1". It will work after I hit the enter 3 times. It works correctly when logged in as an administrator. I have seen an answer to this before, but I can't seem to find it. When adding software to a machine (xp) does it need to be installed as a power user instead of administrator? thanks in advanced. just a little confused.

1706 error in office 2000

If my memory serves me well, Office is trying to access the CD containing the office installation files. If you installed from the network and used a mapped drive and that drive map is not available to the user then you would get this error also.
hope this helps

I installed from the CD logged on as administrator and office would work and if I changed to a different logon it would say installing and then go right in, I then updated through windows update to SR-1 and whatever else is out there and now office will work under administrator, but not under any other user. There is a trick to installing software under xp and something with users, but I can't figure out what it is. thanks
