This applies to Windows 2000 only. Please refer to the Installation Manager Application Compatability Guide for information about how to install Office XP using Installation Manager in a Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server environment.

1. Create an administrative installation of Office XP.

a. Create a file folder on a server. This can either be a temporary file folder to be moved to a final share location or it can be shared as the network file share location of the final package.

b. To perform an administrative installation of Office XP from a network share point, use a command line window to browse to the location where the .msi file is located and type:

msiexec /a proplus.msi

Example: msiexec /a servernamesharenameOffice XPDisc 1 proplus.msi

c. During the administrative install you will be asked to specify an installation location. Select the path to the previously created file folder from step a.

2. Customize Office XP by creating a .mst file with the desired configuration.

a. Download and install the Office XP Resource Kit.

Caution

The following steps were completed by Citrix Technical Support to create a customized .MST file. Please follow these steps with care and consult the Microsoft Documentation referenced below for any recent changes that may affect this process.

6. Click Next and then set the options that you want in the remaining screens of the wizard.

We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business. We are not accountable for anything at all, and we hereby categorically deny all responsibility for all that has ever, or will ever happen.

Don't come sniveling to us, we are only figments of your imagination. I also agree that if I am ever with a contributor to this website during mealtimes I agree to pay for any super-sizing of their meal, or at least a nice dessert or one of those foo-foo drinks with an umbrella or a monkey.

I Agree Wholeheartedly and Without Reservation to the above. (Except maybe for that part about the monkey.)
