What is it that you're trying to accomplish?

When you support over a thousand users programs like these are a blessing. One program, rolled out to everyone, that can do it all with a couple clicks in one window...it's free and the users love it.

Unfortunately the Print Screen button on the keyboard doesn't do what this free program does. Check it out.

I can't remember which allows you to set the CD key but it's either during an administrative install of the software or when creating a transform. One of the two.

Is it this: "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000000

What's the exact error?

Yes I do mean that.

Honestly I think I would have to tell him that if I ran across something I'd let him know but until then, stop crying.

I haven't tried this because it doesn't apply to my situation - we use volume licensing so we use the same CD key for all PCs - but can you create an uninstall CD without a key and have it prompt you for one? If so, you can use it on any PC. Just remember to include the drivers on the CD.

You CAN do a admin install with Office 2003 standard

I use compname.exe to pull the service tag ID out of the BIOS then use this as the computer name.

Forget imaging and create an unattended install CD that will work for any hardware.

I also did this just as Doc Symbiosis stated in his response and it works very well. I map a drive using a "fake" user that has permissions to the installs folder on the network. The only thing I ended up having to do was to create some automated installs for the software for settings and so forth. i.e. Office, Acrobat Reader, etc. This same user has rights to join the PC to the domain.

Is admin2 an administrator?

Do you have Office 2003 SP2 Installed? If not try installing that to see if it gives it to you.

We only use one CD on all PCs where I work. We have a Microsoft Select licensing program so we don't have to be concerned about the PID. As far as drivers are concerned they can all be added to the same CD using any of the methods described in the forums. You do not have to make the CD on the PC you're planning to use it on. Does this answer your question?

What if you change what you have REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg to this REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks\RegistryTweaks.reg The only difference being the \ instead of /

Does this help: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826318

This part isn't correct. I think you need to remove the n.

Hey thanks for the responses. I like the left arrow idea - works for me.

Is there a way to collapse the registry view so each time I open it it starts at the top?

The ORK is free so I would suggest downloading it to see if it tells you how to do what you're trying to do. I found several references to what you're trying to achieve so I'm sure it can be done. Just can't seem to find anything concrete to send you right now. You may need to dig around some.

Wow, things like this are so frustrating. Here's what I do in situations like this. It's gonna sound simple but sometimes if you can't solve something you have to step back and start looking at details. Compare the PCs that do work to one that doesn't. Make notes on what's different about the one that does not work compared to the ones that are. For instance, on the one that's not working correctly this certain software is installed or this user is setup differently than the users of the systems that do work, etc. This puts a list in front of you so then you can ask yourself if there's anything on the list that would cause this problem. Also, have you checked the application event log to see if there are any clues there? And as an afterthought, on the PC that doesn't work, uninstall the software then run a program called msicleanup (I'll shoot you a link if you can't find it) and then install the software again and see if that helps. Good luck!
