Guys,
I'm having serious problems getting office 97 to install properly onto a win2k domain.
Its only a small domain (30 workstations or so), but all of the workstations are already built with win2k pro, so all i'm doing is putting in a DC and pointing the workstations at it.
The problem i've come across is this: Even though the copies of office 97 were installed on the workstations using the local administrator, office applications "lose" installed components when another user who is NOT an administrator (domain or local) runs them.
For example, in access, zoom boxes stop working and deliver an error message saying that the component is not installed, but if the user experiancing that problem is added to the local administrators group, the problem goes away.
Obviously, making everyone administrators is no good, but i can't be the first person to come across this problem - please help.
