Steps to install Office 2000

Background

Microsoft Office 2000 uses a Data1.msi file for installation. There is no need to use the Citrix Installation Manager 2.x packager. International and English versions that require specific customizations must use a transform file created by Termsrvr.mst. Termsrvr.mst can be obtained from the Microsoft Office Resource Kit Tools. See Creating a Partial Install of Office 2000 with Installation Manager and [Document Not Found] for additional information. Unlike Office 97, Office 2000 does not require any compatibility scripts.

To Install Office 2000

1. Create a network share point (for example, \\servername\office2k_admin) on a non-MetaFrame server and copy the Office 2000 CD contents to the share point.

2. Map a drive to the share point created in Step 1.

3. From the Start menu, click Run and Browse to \Office2000\disk1.

4. From a command prompt, type the following:

Msiexec /a data1.msi

NOTE: During the file copy process, you may receive a message that Ie5setup.exe cannot be found. Click Ignore to continue if you are not installing the Internet Explorer Version 5 components.

4. Enter the path to the network share point created in Step 1 (for example, \\servername\office2k_admin) where you want to install Office 2000 Administrator.

5. Install the Microsoft Office Resource Kit Tools by running ORKTools.exe. This kit provides a file, Termsrvr.mst, which is required by Office 2000 to install in a multiuser environment. Look in C:\Program Files\ORKTools\ToolBox\Tools\Terminal Server tools\termsrvr.mst. By default, the Termsrvr.mst file installs all of the features for Office 2000.

For Example: Use the Microsoft Office Resource Kit Tools to create a custom .mst file that installs only Microsoft Word and Excel:

A. Run the Custom Installation wizard from the Microsoft Office Resource Kit Tools.

B. Browse to the Data1.msi file in Office 2000.

C. Open the existing Termsrvr.mst file supplied with the Microsoft Office Resource Kit Tools package.

D. Type a different name for the output .mst file.

E. Proceed through the wizard, choosing the defaults until the Set Feature Installation States window opens.

F. Click the down arrow button for Word. Select Run from my computer.

G. Click the down arrow button for Excel. Select Run from my computer.

H. Click the down arrow button for all other program choices. Select Not Available.

I. A red X is displayed for these program choices.

J. Proceed through the remainder of the wizard screens, choosing the defaults.

K. At the Internet Explorer screen, choose not to install Internet Explorer 5.

L. Click Finish to save the modified transform file.

6. Copy the .mst transform file to the Administrator share point for Office 2000.

7. Open the Citrix Management Console and right-click the Installation Manager node.

8. Choose Add Package. Type a package name and browse to the network share point where the Data1.msi and the new transform file are located to add them both to the package.

NOTE: After adding the MSI package, you may need to move the .mst file from the Properties window for the newly added package.

9. Right-click the new package in the Packages folder and choose Install Package.

10. Check the status of the installation. If it is in a Pending state, ensure the MetaFrame server is properly licensed. Activate the server license if the grace period has expired.

NOTE: If you uninstall Microsoft Office 2000, sometimes empty folders remain along with .dll files that are in use.
