Well the thing is, I can browse the share manually and reinstall at will. The WI doesn't fail with access denied then. It only fails when the system calls WI for some reason at boot-time. I will try your script, but I suspect it might not trigger the problem.

Well the script will trigger the install process almost as if you're installing a "feature" from within Office itself. The only difference is that you're passing the share path manually. You've already checked the paths in the reg, so this is a very good simulation excercise.

The time you've spent writing this message you could have already run the script and analysed the log file.

We have not installed any Office2k service packs until now as everything has been running smoothly since day one until now.

OK, but that's crazy. Any document you open from outside your organization could easily exploit your systems.
