Re: How to create silent install of Office 2000 using a batchfile

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

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.
