How to create silent install of Office 2000 using a batchfile

A

Ajith

Use the /qb- or the /qn switch to make it silent. However, it would go with
the default one whereby making outlook to be installed.
I would advise you to use the custom installation wizard from ORK and then
create a transform (MST) file and on that file, you can have the options like
"outlook to be not installed etc. ) .
Use the command setup.exe TRANSFORMS=<path and name of MST file> /qb-
and put it in a batch file.
Let me know if you need more help.

Hello Mick,

Thank you for your reply I got the batch file to work but have a
different issue now. I am using /qn+ and in the command window it is
asking to to "Press any key.." after pressing anykey it is terminating
the command prompt window. Although, it is closing the command window
it is actually installing it in the background. Could you please tell
me how can I keep the command prompt window up and running and have the
product registered automatically? I am trying to avoide of activating
the product each time I installed on a machine. Is there a way to
write the script so that it automatically takes the product key?
Please advise.

Thank you

Hello Gerry,
I have a new issue now..I have figured out how to do this and
everything was working fine until I started to run it from a bathc
file. Now everytime I am trying to run the .bat file. a Wndow XP window
pops up and it is telling me "Please fo to the control Panel to install
and configure system components". One change that I have made in
creating the .MST file is, In the the "Set Feature Installation States"
I clicked on the the Microsoft Office tab and selected run all from my
computer. Then I made the Outlook unavailable. ANy clue on this?

Please advise.
