OFF2000: Error Message: "This Installation Is Forbidden by System Policy ..." Running Setup
This article was previously published under Q234041
When you run Setup for Office, the following error message may appear:
This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
This error message may appear if all of the following are true:
- You have the Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy turned on.
-and-
- The location from which you installed Office is not available.
-and-
- In Windows Explorer, you located another source of Office 2000 files on your network.
-and-
- You started Setup.exe from the alternate source location.
To work around this issue, do not use the
Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy.
The
Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy prevents you from using any Office source locations other than that from which you originally ran setup (or specified by the SOURCELIST property during Setup).
For additional information about the
Disable browse dialog box for new source system policy, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each

edits), please consult a professional.
