Subject:	SCOUG-Help: OT: W2K Pls help on how to allow non-administrator

Content Type: text/plain

OK so here is the fix.

There is a file called sversion.ini:

c:\documents and settings\jasmine\application data\sversion.ini

This was a 0-byte file in jasmine's (user's) folder

Attempting to execute oowriter.exe failed with error message "The
application cannot be started. The configuration file [as above]
does not support the current version"

I copied over the 59-byte file from the corresponding \administrator\ folder and now
it works for jasmine (restricted user)

I will don't know why this happened, whether an OO install error or
whether I am just ignorant about permissions in W2K. This furnished
FYI and with no liability :)
