Custom Install Wizard

[Dan Ward]

I am using the Custom Installation Wizard for Office 2000, and cannot seem to find out where (or if) I can enter the product ID number. The goal is to automate the install so that this particular piece of info is not required to be manually entered by the user. Any info?
Also, if anyone knows of a better way of completely automating an Office (only) install, please advise.

Thanks so much,
Dan Ward

Dan,

The CD key is requested during the creating of the administrative
installation. If you are not prompted to enter the CD key when you run Setup
/a then I believe you have an OEM copy of Office. Please see the following
KB article for details on this scenario.

Hope this helps.
