I've installed OpenOffice on my Admin account, it works perfectly. I would like to use it on my regular account which has limited access.
I copied the zip file into the regular account but when I tried to load it it threw up a lot of missing files. I tried using run as..... and entered as the admin but it offered to repair the installation that was already there (which was news to me cause I was trying to install it so how could it be there!?

How can I get it to work?

Thanks
 
Unless you were asked All Users / Current User Only the software will be installed for all users. That's what admins (and power users) are for. For a user it will only install for that user (if it can which is doubtful a/ users often don't have permissions to copy files or registry entries and b/ most setup programs are for all users only.)

This question shouldn't be asked here (this is an MS site). Ask at open office..
