gassan777 Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Anyone encountered this before? When you try to run a MS Office XP application it says "Microsoft Word (or whatever MS Office program you're trying to run) has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup." I tried uninstalling/installing Office XP again but to no avail. It can only be ran if you have admin priveleges. Anyone has an idea?I temporarily gave that user admin priveleges...uninstalled office xp and installed it back and ran it and then removed admin priveleges from the user and again he can't run it.Any ideas?

gassan777 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 That's what it exactly says:Microsoft Word has not been installed for the currentuser. Please run setup to install the application.When I press Yes it just closes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Can it be run as admin? Right click, Run As Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gassan777 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Well..yeah..if you use Run as and use admin priveleges yeah. I can't babysit every user and enter my password everytime they run MS Office application though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 So, that means it works. but the users don't have access to it.This was just a test, not a solution. Give me a few mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
