162042 2003-07-22 10:01:00 I created a new user to my XP Pro and after logging in (to the newly created user) everything goes fine but when I tried to launch my Office 2k Prem (already installed), Windows installer tries to install Office 2k SR1 again; unfortunately, half-way through the process, the following error message appears:

"Error 1706, no valid source could be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 SR1 Premium. The Windows installer cannot continue."

I click OK and the installation process repeats for 3 - 4 times and Word or Excel opens. I could then use it without problem.

The problem is, every time when I launch Word of Excel, the above repeats itself.

I already have my Office installed and there is another user account is using it without any problem. What could be the cause?

Went to Group Policy and enabled the following settings:

1. Enable user to browse for source while elevated; and

2. Enable user to use media source while elevated
