Install Office in Vista Standard User or Administrator?

Postby VGhvbQ » Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:42:00 GMT

It seems like this should be an easy question, but I can't find it anywhere.

I have Vista Home Premium and I need to install Office Enterprise 2007.  
Should I install it as the system administrator or in my standard user 
account?  I would like to make sure it is available for the other standard 
accounts on my computer.

I don't have the definitive answer, but why *wouldn't* you install it as the 
system administrator? You would be assured of having ultimate permissions to 
write to the the system and its configuration that way.

I'm not certain if a standard user account (with installation permissions, 
naturally) would then make it available to other standard user accounts, 
because I do all my software installations as administrator, to avoid any 
potential permissions issues.

1.Trying to Install Office 2007 in Vista with Administrator Error

I have a brand new laptop with Vista Business edition.

I am trying to install a corporate edition of Office 2007 and keep getting 
an error saying that I am not an administrator.  I can assure you that my 
user account IS an administrator account.  Anyone have any ideas why this is 
happening?

I tried to restart in safe mode to install it, no luck.

2.standard users can see administrators desktop files when uac i

Hey Oscar,
Thanks for that. Tried it and it works well. It appears the security on my 
user files was gave others permission (family pc) to access my files. I've 
used right-click and re-configured security permissions and it works fine. I 
think I may have tried to access my files from their user name (logged in as 
standard user) at one stage. When asked for permission to view the folder I 
gave in my password and got through. I thought this would be a once off 
situation, and if that user tried again they would be asked for 
permission/password again. Is this not the case ie. does vista simply 
remember the request and not ask for permission again next time an attempt is 
made to access this folder? 
Appreciate yr support here.

3.standard users can see administrators desktop files when uac is on

Hi
Standard users can see and access my desktop files but I am the 
administrator. Should this be the case. If not, does anybody know what I can 
I do to prevent them from accessing my files?
Many thanks,
Mike.

4.unable to connect as standard user but Ok as administrator

I am running Vista Business and was having no problems using a mobile 
broadband USB modem until last week when I stopped being able to connect when 
using a standard login, but can still connect when logged in as 
administrator. User Account Control is switched off.
Have replaced the modem, uninstalled and reinstalled the software/drivers, 
etc etc but it seems to be a Vista problem rather than being related to 
either the modem or the ISP software.
Nobody from my ISP, computer manufacturer, or modem manufacturer has any 
idea how to fix the problem.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
