>3.1. MS Office Setup reports "Cannot change properties of '\MSOFFICE\SETUP.INI'"</H1
><P
>When installing MS Office on a Samba drive for which you have admin
user permissions, ie. admin users = username, you will find the
setup program unable to complete the installation.</P
><P
>To get around this problem, do the installation without admin user
permissions The problem is that MS Office Setup checks that a file is
rdonly by trying to open it for writing.</P
><P
>Admin users can always open a file for writing, as they run as root.
You just have to install as a non-admin user and then use "chown -R"
to fix the owner.</P
