SUMMARY
If the Windows Installer needs to copy information from your Office source location, and that source is not available, a dialog box with the following text appears:

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path in the box below.

In this dialog box, there is a Browse button that allows you to browse your network for another location that contains Office source files.

To make the Browse button unavailable, apply the Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy that is available in the Office 2000 Policy template, Instlr1.adm. For more information about the Office System Policy templates, see the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit at the following Microsoft Web site:

MORE INFORMATION
If you apply the Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy, you also cannot manually enter a path in the Use feature from list. However, you can select the   item in the Use feature from list (where   is the name of the specific Office program being used). If you select the   item and your   CD is in the CD-ROM drive, the Windows Installer can locate the information it needs on the CD when you click OK.

When you apply the Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy, the DisableBrowse DWORD value under the following registry subkey is set to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
