    Look at the error msg in the eventviewer. You probably have a component that is missing and Office will try and repair it. What version of Office is it? For older versions you can try and use the MSICUU, MSI Clean Up utility.

    Admin can't change permissions?

    You can turn of UAC through SecPol.msc, and bring back the good ole days where a good infected website or bogus setup.exe, could install whatever it likes on the machine. For normal operations there are absolutely no reason to run as the full administrator. Normal users should only be users...

    MS Office 2000 network custom install

    No /a does not allow for any customizations to the office.msi. In theory you could build a msi-file that would, but why bother ? Accept the /a file copy effect, and create transforms to customize the installation from there. A very important side effect of the office administrative install...
