Hi,

recently just installed Office XP (as admin). no problem opening up the apps. but as soon as i switch to a normal User account, Windows Installer opens up... and installs (after the first time) every time i open Word and Frontpage. I was thinking that this might have to do w/ the Windows security/permission settings for Microsoft Office. Right now, the folder is set to Admin and System (w/ full control), and User (w/ the default 3 checks... ie. read, etc). Any suggestions/fixes?

Thanks in advance.

Does it only run the install routine once per regular user account? Or does it always run the install routine? If it runs it once per user account the first time that user opens an Office app, that might be normal. It may be simply personalizing the settings for that user.
