Office 2000 Administrative Installation:

Office 2000 Administrative Installation:

1.  Create a network administrative installation point for Microsoft� Office. To do this run the setupxxx.exe on the Office CD-ROM file from the command prompt with the following syntax:
   

   Setupxxx.exe /a dataxxx.msi. 

   NOTE: Since there are multiple versions of Office 2000, both setupxxx.exe and dataxxx.msi could be named differently.
2. You must supply the CD Key and Company name for the Administrative Installation. This will only need to be used during the Administrative Installation; the client computers will not require the CD Key or Company name for Office Installation or Updates.
3. You must accept the licensing agreement for the administrative installation. Check the box to accept the licensing agreement and click ?Next?.
4. Type the path to the share you created in the location box. Click ?Install Now? and allow the administrative installation to complete. 

Office 2000 Service Release / Service Pack Application
NOTE: Service Releases / Service Packs for Office 2000 are not always cumulative. Please note any requirements before applying a Service Pack to the installation point. For example, Office 2000 SP3 requires Service Release 1. You must apply the SR-1 package to the installation point before applying the Service Pack. Also note that you must acquire the Administrative Service Pack download. For Service Release 1, the URL to the Administrative Service Release is listed below. Download the Data1.exe file. Do not get the o2ksr1adl.exe download, this is not the complete version of the Service Release.

Download the service pack:

1. Once the installation is complete, apply any Service Packs to the administrative installation point.
2. Download the appropriate Service Pack Administrative Package and double click it to extract all of the files.
3. Enter the directory where you would like to place the extracted files. This should not be the Administrative Installation point for Office.
4. To Apply the Service Pack to the Administrative Installation Point, run the Microsoft� Installer from a Command Prompt as follows:
   

   msiexec /p [path to the .msp file in the extracted sp
   
    files] /a [path to the .msi file in the administrative 
   
   installation package] SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb 

5. Optionally you may add the parameter /L*v [path\name of log file] to this command to
   have a log file generated in the location of your choice.
   NOTE: The default name of the MSP file from Service Release 1 is data1.msp for Office disk 1.
