SYMPTOMS

When you access the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Edit control (DHTML.ocx), the Windows Installer may start and prompt you for the Office 2000 source. This behavior occurs on systems that are running the updated shell, also known as the Desktop Update or Active Desktop.

CAUSE

When you perform a typical installation of Office 2000, the HTML Source Editing feature is set to Install on First Use. If you browse to a Web page that uses the DHTML Edit control, or you run a program that uses the DHTML Edit control (such as a custom Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications program), the Windows Installer starts to install the HTML Source Editing feature. This is because the DHTML Edit control uses the Triedit.dll file, which is part of the Office 2000 HTML Source Editing feature. When the program calls the Triedit.dll file, the Windows Installer is started in order to perform the "install on demand" installation for the HTML Source Editing feature.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, configure the Office 2000 installation to set the HTML Source Editing feature to either Not Installed or Run from My Computer. To do this, do one of the following:
•If Office 2000 is not yet installed, either use the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW), or manually configure the feature during the initial Office 2000 installation.
•If Office 2000 is already installed, either use the Custom Maintenance Wizard (CMW), or manually configure the feature through Office 2000 Maintenance mode.For additional information about Office Maintenance mode, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Note If the HTML Source Editing feature is set to Run from My Computer, you will be required to supply a valid Office 2000 source.
