Dear all,
I have posted this before with no response from anybody.
My problem is that when installing Office 2000 on a
Windows 2000 Professional for more than one user, I must
grant them an administrator privileges and login with
their username and password to complete the installation
of Office 2000, but I think that there is another solution
to deploy it for more than one user without this headache
way.
Thank you in advance,
Fares Atallah
 
In my experience, you install it as an admin, run it for the first time as
an admin (set up outlook etc) and then it runs fine for all other users.
Sometimes when they run it for the first time there is an 'Installing
Components' type dialogue but no problems.

Thank you for your response.
I don't want the users to install any software, so that
when they run Office for the first time, the 'Installing
Components' wizard will ask for the Office CD.
So that I must add the users to the Admin group and then
run the installation from the CD by using their logins.
Is there any idea to do so?

When you log in as an admin to install the software, do a custom install and
choose "run everything from workstation" (paraphrasing).
 
Another option is to load all required applications from the Administrator
profile, and then copy the Administrator profile to the default user profile.
