I have installed office products and win 2k and when other
users use this PC the Office products are unable to be
accessed. It asks for an Install disk. Is this something
to do with WIN2K roaming profiles. We have a mixture of
win 98 and win 2k machines in the office
 
I am not sure I understand exactly what you are
experiencing.

I have installed Microsoft Office on many kinds of
configurations and I have never run into a profile issue
with these products. Microsoft Office installs globally.
In other words, it does not install into one single
profile. When it is installed, the setup program installs
into all profiles. All newly created profiles also have
access to all Office products.

It is likely that something went wrong during your
installation of Microsoft Office. Make sure you are
logged in on an account with administrator privilages when
you begin the setup.
 
It's quite normal when a new user logs in on a computer that already has
Office on it. It just want the details of the new user. You can avoid asking
for the CD by making an administrative install of Office on the server and
install it on the clients from there.
