apps installs on XP domain clients

I'm having a problem with a number of apps including
Office and Outlook Express on XP domain clients. Some apps
either require registry hacks or have to be run as local
Administrator before they work and before the user can
launch them under thier profile.

In a number of cases, installed local apps simply won't
run under the user profile. I understand the GPO controls
many of the local permissions but I have to believe that
there is some kind of formal procedure for installing
these apps that avoids these problems - barring making all
my users Power Users or local Admins. They can't all
require registry hacks!!

We have that on all our machines and never have to give them those elevated
privledges. The must have been something odd about your machines before the
Apps were installed.

Well, not quite sure how to diagnose "odd".

I'm not sure either. I haven't heard of this happening before. I know that
some poorly written third party Apps can be like this because they aren't
properly designed to run on anything above Win98, but I have never seen this
with Office and certainly not Outlook Express. Requiring Admin to install
is common, but requiring Admin to run isn't normal.

Has anything been done to these machines concerning NTFS permisions on file
& folders and registry keys?
