Installing Office 2000 SR1 without CD - KB Method-2 Does NOT Work

T

Tecknomage

We have a laptop that came from the OEM vendor with Office 2000 Pro
pre-installed. They do not provide a Office 2000 CD.

When I go to the Office Update site it says I need to install Office 2000 SR1.

I downloaded & SAVED the file. When I run the update package it asks for the
Office 2000 Pro CD, to get DATA1.MSI file.

Found this KB that address the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839438/en-us

I need to run "Method 2: If the Office 2000 CD-ROM is not available"

The command line:
msiexec /i {Office 2000 product code} REMOVE=NotInstalled REINSTALLMODE=m /qb

WITH the correct "product code" does NOT work.

I know the problem is the command phrasing is for the OLD version of MSI
Installer.

I need the correct phrasing for the command, when using latest MSI Installer
v3.

Can someone provide me with the correct command line?
