Hi everyone, Just got a question about Microsoft office network installations. At the moment I have the office 2003 CD sitting on a network share. On my workstations I install office using the UNC path (\\server\share\msifilehere.msi) but what I’m finding is windows installer wants to configure office for each new user that logs onto a workstation. For example. A workstation has a full install of Office 2003 installed via the UNC path. A new user logs onto the workstation and opens word. Upon the first run Windows Installer appears and configures “Microsoft Office 2003”. Once it has run for that user once, other applications such as Excel and PowerPoint can be opened without the windows installer appearing. If the user logs off and another new user logs on the same process occurs. Is there something I can embed into the Default User profile to stop windows installer from configuring office each time a new user uses a workstation? Or perhaps there is another solution? All feedback appreciated. Thanks, Brendan
