For this process you need write privilidge to the share and it -is desirable to enable file locking and share mode operation during this -process. - -Subsequent installation of MS Office from this share will FAIL unless certain -precautions are taken. This failure will be caused by share mode operation -which will prevent the MS Office installation process from re-opening various -dynamic link library files and will cause sporadic file not found problems. - -Solution: -========= -1. As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed - set the following parameters on the share containing it: - [MSOP95] - path = /where_you_put_it - comment = Your comment - volume = "The_CD_ROM_Label" - read only = yes - available = yes - share modes = no - locking = no - browseable = yes - public = yes - -2. Now you are ready to run the setup program from the Microsoft Windows -workstation as follows:- - \\"Server_Name"\MSOP95\msoffice\setup - |
