office will not run under domain user account

[JOB2828]

I've tried installing office 2003 & 2007 and they run as they should under accounts with administrator rights. However, if you try to run under a domain user account, it tries to install again and errors out. Error is 2503 an internal error has occurred. (So helpfull). Click ok and then you get another error 2502 an internal error has occured. Click ok and then you get fatal error durring installation. The appication closes and that's it. Someone has had to seen this and resolved it. I'm not about to give users administrative permissions on the local machine. We run a 2003 SBS DC. Is there a GPO that I should set? Change the security permissions on a registry key, file, folder? According to Microsofts own documentation, you simply need to install under an administrative account and then it should run fine under a restricted account. I find that not so amusing. You can read the Microsoft Office 2007 deployment article here.

Help is greatly appreciated thanks...

So, was the software installed under an administrative account (say, a login for your tech support group)? And then run by the user (not in Admin)?

Yes, it was installed using the domain admin account.
