So I did the whole thing to the letter as far as I know.
It's really not even that complicated ... simple really.

1) Must be in app mode ... no prob.
2) Must be in "Windows Compat. Mode" ... again, no prob.

Install thru add/remove programs ... simple stuff.

Done this all 4 times now ...
Only the Admin can use Office 2003
Any user gets denied ...

*SIGH*
 
1. Application Server Mode
2. Change user /install or add/remove programs

Not sure what you mean by Windows Compat. Mode, but this is NOT required,
nor do I know what it is (unless you're referring to altering shortcuts to
run in a mode compatible with another OS)

I usually do setup /a and copy the installation files to a Network Share
(installation Point which holds the setup files & installation key, must be
done with Enterprise/Open License Media). I then use the Custom Installation
Wizard (from a workstation) to tweak the install to my liking, i.e. set
default email editor, Outlook Profile Settings, file locations (things you
can also set via GPO, but these only set defaults, not lock users down).
Finally I run the install from the console, Citrix Installation Manager, or
Group Policy Assigned (to the Server) Application.

Please look in the application event log on the terminal server & post back
the errors that are logged when users try to launch an Office Program.
 
No errors in the App logs at all.
But she gets the "This file has no program associated with it to complete
this ..."
So it works for Admins... no problem, but for users, it's like it's not
installed.

What could be causing this ?
 
Do they have read & Execute permissions to the Microsoft Office directory,
and all of the contents.
