Volume Licensing Office 2003 Install for All Users

[kcoulter]

I am having a problem getting Office 2003 to install for all users
using an Administrative install point. It will install only for the
current user and then not install for any other user. We have tried the
ALLUSERS=2 switch as well as making the installer account a local
admin. I am at a loss getting this thing to work and wonder if anyone
else has any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you read the deployment guide in the ORK? Make sure you are
deploying per machine as opposed to per user.

I thought "per machine" was the default??

We used to add ALLUSERS=1 when we had Office 2000, but it seems we don't
need this anymore - it just automatically does it for all users.

Be careful if you use an "installer" account; I just use local Admin or
domain Admin. If your "installer" account (or it's profile) don't exist
when it's time to uninstall you could be in trouble.

Actually, I think the "automatic" bit is being done (on our systems) by
Custom Installation Wizard (CIW) which we set to install per machine, so it
may NOT be the default. It's a while since I set this up, but if you check
the deployment guide and the help screens of the CIW you should find the
setting for this. I think CIW basically passes the ALLUSERS value to the MSI
when you eventually run SETUP.
