I have a P3/1GB running WIN2K. I setup a User as a Local Administrator.
The PC is part of a WIN2K domain.

When I try to install some software I get a message that the
installation program can not access the users network directory. I was
able to install the software logged onto the workstation ONLY.

I checked MS Knowldgebase and the Registry entries are correct and in
agreement with other workstations on the network.

Any ideas?
