Hi Guys, I installed Office 2000 from a network share, now when I use that image on any PC, I get prompted with "the office option you want is not installed, please put in your office cd" Here's the wierd part, I click on browse (so as to browse to the network share) and all my mapped network drives have an x on them, I type in the name of the share \\servername\office2000 and I get an access denied. However I can go to "My Computer" and browse the network shares with no problem. Any ideas? This is wierd!

This is a bit of an informed guess, but I would suggest you look at the privileges on the local PC for the user trying to install the extra feature. It sounds to me like the local operating system is blocking the install, not the network.
Logging in as an Administrator on the local machine (and retaining/re-mapping the network drives for the necessary software) before adding the extra feature would see you right, if this were the case.
