Feature ID Not Registered Bobby Kearan 6/13/2007 3:17:02 PM I am getting an odd error on Microsoft Office - after install, it will work perfectly under the installer's log-on, but on a user log-on it gives "Shortcut Error" "Feature ID not registered" Can't find any information other than it is a windows installer error. I have re-installed with the user signed on (using secondary log-on service to 'run as'). I have given authenticated users and everyone permission to the Microsoft Office folder, subfolders and files. I have logged in as local administrator - and got the same error. Another administrator logged in and got the same error. Plenty of other computers have worked just fine using the previous install method. Seems to be installing in a "only for me" mode.... but there isn't an option in the install to select such a thing. Any ideas?? The following are from the Apps log.

More Info - RE: Feature ID Not Registered Bobby Kearan 6/13/2007 4:12:00 PM Office is installed and if you go to the Install folder under a different log-on, you can double click the winwrd.exe and start the program. It gives an error something like "There is a problem and this function is no longer working properly. Run help: detect and repair" Doing a detect and repair brings up a "Installation source not found" May be helpful to note that this is being pushed out via CA - using a temp folder to store the installs. I have added a network share to the net sources in the registry. Still, even downloading the install files and installing locally creates the same issue with the "Feature ID not Registered" Our previous department head went nuts with an NT security manual on the computers that are having the problems. I can't even imagine what all he 'secured' over the two week period he was 'locking down' these unfortunate PCs. Wound up making them pretty much non-functional. -- Ack!
