Tries to install but it also opens

I recently upgraded from XP home to Vista Home Premium. I am currently
running MS Office 2002.
After the upgrade i added a user to my system. Everytime i try to open
anything from MS Office as the new user (an admin) it asks for the disc to
install the program but at the same time it also opens the program.... it is
very annoying.
Because of this, the Pocket PC i try to sync up can't because it needs to
open outlook which the system "thinks" is not installed.

Please help me

Have you tried to let it install when you get that prompt? Try this and make
sure that it installs to the same folder where you originally installed the
programs. This should configure everything to allow that user to access the
programs without an install prompt.
