Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application'

I have a question about Windows
Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application:
I have used option 2 to disable the windows installer from my Windows XP Pro system
with Office XP. I now still get the installer window popping up when I start Word,
but the window clears itself and Word loads OK. The only issue I have now is when
I try to open a Word document from outside Word by double clicking it. Word loads
(showing the installer window) but does not load the selected document. Loading the
document from within Word works fine, however.
Does anyone know how to get the automatic loading of a Word document working again?
This problem only occurs with newly created users, not on my original user name where
everything still works fine.
Thanks

Word installs using an MSI installer. As each new user logs on, the MSI is triggered
to install the user side (registry and files) of Word. This is by design, and should
be allowed to happen.
You need to have access to the installation files at this time too.
As for the document not loading properly, try running a repair for the new users.
This should replace any missing entries that may be causing the problem.
