Thank you for the reply.
I installed and accepted the EULA from the Admin account.
After working with the Workaround in Article 258847 some more, I was able to
lose the Error 1706 message and get it to recognize the installation CDs
under the User Account. A very abbreviated installation process took place
while under the User profile and I was able to use the Office 2k applications
without any error messages under the User profile.
So, contrary to what I posted before, Workaround 258847 DOES solve the error
1706 problem.
Somewhere along the way, the Ownership and Permissions of numerous Office 2k
data files transferred from the old computer were altered. Now, I can run the
applications as User but cannot access the associated data files, even as
Administrator. I am not sure how this happened.
My plan now is to reinstall Windows 2k, follow the 258847 Workaround and see
if both applications and existing data will be available under the User
profile on the new computer. Fortunately, my old computer is still working
well and I can afford to take time to learn how to set up the new computer
correctly.
Any suggestions or advice?
