The microsoft office web installer requires administrator privileges in order
to install necessary components. Installation failed.

That is the error im getting, now the back story.

The company i work for has an access database that they somehow turned into
a webpage (html). If i open it on my machine, it opens fine. If i open it on
a Virtual PC with Office 2000 or 2003 It won't load. I have three accounts
Domain Admin, Domain User with Local Admin rights, and domain user. Every one
of those accounts i get the same error.

We have machines all over the USA and someone people can open it and others
just get a heading at the top (which is inside the access database now html
file). This just started happing a few weeks ago. It seems around the same
time we placed a WSUS server in. Im guessing a windows update somehow torked
the machines that will not work.

Does anyone know how to fix this issues? Im logged in as a domain admin and
i still get the "you must be an admin" prompt.
