Thanks. I read that document and ....

I need to install office on a per computer basis instead of a per user
basis. I do not see how to do this on 2000 and XP machines, only on 98 and
ME machines. This could explain why I never saw this before the latest
upgrad, as I just recently started deploying 2000 or XP with Office XP.

The only other thing I see that may help is to turn off the "Create Windows
installer shortcuts" feature. I have not tried that yet.

Hi - sorry it didn't work for you - it took me several frustrating attempts
at everything MS recommended before this solution worked for me. I can't
understand why Microsoft are not addressing this issue. Having to manually
delete registry entries is not an acceptable solution. Hope you manage to
resolve your problem - can't suggest anything else I'm afraid!

replace Office 2003 with Office XP

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 01:25 PM PST

I'm not sure I understand...
Here a scenario: A workstation with Windoes 2K Prof and Office 2000 Prof
uses outlook. The main folder is a .pst file containing Inbox, Contacts,
etc. A new workstation is introduced with Windows XP Prof and Office 2003
Student/Teacher edition. The .pst file is copied to this new pc and Outlook
is set to use it as the main folder. I need to remove the Office 2003
student version and replace it with Office XP. Will I be able to use the
..pst file as the main folder?

Upgrade Office 2000 to 2003.

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 01:23 PM PST

Office 2000 Series products tended to have
more applications (Photodraw, FrontPage, Small Business Tools)
from multiple CDs than the single CD Office 2003 has.

On installing Office 2003, either manually or from an
Admin Point it only replaces 'like programs' and leaves
the others. It usually will not remove the Office folders
to be sure that it isn't removing user files that someone
may have installed there. You'd need to do some cleanup
through another process if you want to yank out the old
product entirely.

Office 2003 usually puts itself into a subfolder of
a previous MS Office installation, but it doesn't
put itself into the same folder as Office 2000.
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch4/DepB03.htm

The default installation point would be
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11

You can try adding the INSTALLLOCATION=
property in the Settings file (setup.ini)
(you may still get a subfolder)
but what you may want to try is doing a manual
setup from your Admin point using verbose logging
to track to see what is going on.

The MST is basically mimicing the steps you'd
take in a manual install/upgrade so you should
see the same basic results by doing a manual install
and specifying a custom location.

Be sure that you're using the same User/profile/permissions
for the manual test that you used with the MST.
It may be that you don't have permissions needed to
work with all of the folders you're calling out or
the registry.

Yes I am using the Volume license product. The process does not require a
previous product for upgrade validation, however when installing Office 2003
it check to see if a previous version exists, and then will upgrade/migrate
accordingly. I have set the MST file to remove all previous versions,
however it does not actually remove all of the office 2000 componenets (tracs
are left), and does not remove the the off2000 folder it was prreviously
installed in. I have read several articles on the process of removing Office
2000, however there is no defined method that fully removes the product.

Not to sure where to go from here. >>

Hi garfield

Many thanks for that.

What seems to happen is that if you try to install the HTML editing
option the install actually bombs out, leaving some needed files
missing, not setting up the menu and not rolling back. Still it's 7/8
years old now :-)

I re-installed, excluding HTML editing, and both SP's went on OK.

It's not worth upgrading to a later version for me since 97 does all I
need it to.

Thanks again :-)

Automated Install using batch file

Posted: 02 Dec 2004 06:11 AM PST

Hi Daniel,

If you're creating an Office Admin point you
can apply the Service Release (not service pack) SR1
and then Service Pack (SP) 3 to the Admin Point and
then deploy from the updated Admin Point as one method.

========
<<"Daniel" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
Good morning,

I'm trying to install MS Office 2000 Premium and the service packs using a
batch file to automate the process. Below is the code that I'm trying to
debug:

\\cdiptc-app\sw$\ms\office2kprem\setup.exe
TRANSFORMS=\\cdiptc-app\sw$\ms\office2kprem\2003-08-25.MST /wait /qn+
\\cdiptc-app\sw$\ms\office2ksp1a\setup.exe /qn
\\cdiptc-app\sw$\ms\office2ksp3\O2kSp3.exe /q

The problem that I'm having is the fact that it installs Office and service
pack 1a and then reboots and never installs service pack 3. Could someone
please show me what code will work to install both service packs before
rebooting?

Thank you,

Daniel>>
