This is a permissions issue. Basically it looks like your office program is
trying to do an "install on demand" which is a feature that auto-installs
the appropriate program when you need it, instead of when office is
initially installed. Log in as the administrator and open each of the
programs you want to use, that should take care of it. Also, MS Office
needs some serious permissions to run properly check out article 277867. Am
I the only one who find the new article numbers without the Q to be
annoying, it makes them harder to find on google.
