Installing Microsoft Office XP on Windows NT 4.0, TSE Using Installation Manager 2.0

NOTE: This applies ONLY to Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition.

The procedures for installing Microsoft Office XP on Windows NT 4.0, TSE servers differ slightly from the installation on a Windows 2000 server. While both Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server and Windows 2000 Servers require an administrative install of the standard Office XP package (that is, proplus.msi), Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server requires an additional MSI package and transform file to be installed prior to the standard Office XP package.

Steps to Install Microsoft Office XP on Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server

1. Download the following zip file containing the additional MSI and transform files:

o ftp://ftp.citrix.com/utilities/osp.zip

2. Place the above MSI and transform file on a network share point.

3. Open the Citrix Management Console and add the Osp.msi file to "Packages" in Installation Manager.

4. Add the Osp.mst transform file to the OSP package.

5. Schedule the installation of the OSP package. The standard Microsoft Office XP package can be installed fter the OSP package is installed.

6. To install the standard Office XP package, you must create an administrative installation point:

o Create a share on a network server for the administrative installation point. The network share must have at least 650MB of available hard-disk space.

o On a computer that has write access to the share, connect to the server share.

o From the Start menu, click Run and then click Browse.

o On the Office XP CD, double-click Setup.exe and add /a to the command line.

o Enter the organization name that you want to define for all users who install Office from this administrative installation point.

o Enter the server and share you created as the installation location.

o Enter the 25-character Volume License Product Key and click Next. Users who install Office XP from this administrative installation point are not prompted to enter a product key when they install Office XP or start an Office XP application for the first time, nor are they required to activate the product.

o Accept the end-user license agreement and click Install.

By accepting the agreement, you are accepting on behalf of all users who install Office from this administrative installation point. See the Microsoft XP Office Resource Kit (ORK) to obtain complete instructions about creating an administrative installation point.

Setup also modifies the Windows Installer package for Office, identifying it as an administrative installation package and setting the ProductID and COMPANYNAME properties accordingly. After you create the administrative installation point, you make the share available to users by providing them with read access.

7. Add the package to the Citrix Management Console by pointing to the .MSI file (that is, Proplus.msi) on the administrative installation point.

8. The package can now be scheduled for installation across the farm to the targeted MetaFrame servers.
