Well, George...if this is indeed a legal copy of Office XP, there is no =
way
you can shut off or remove the autorun.inf file from the CD cuz the CD =
is
read only...so search the CD for autorun.inf and use that file to
install.... I found this in the Windows XP help files...it doesn't refer =
to
Office XP but maybe this will help you....but if this is NOT a legal =
copy of
Office, please take the question to another group...thanks:

SYMPTOMS
When you insert the Microsoft Office CD, the Autorun feature may not =
run,
even when you manually run the Autorun.exe file located on the CD.=20
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you have already installed Microsoft Office on =
your
computer, either from the Office installation CD, from floppy disks, or =
from
a network server.=20

This behavior occurs because the Autorun feature is only designed to run =
if
Office is not already installed (for example, the first time you run =
Office
Setup or when you run Office Setup after using the Remove All button in
maintenance mode). The Autorun feature displays a window that allows you =
to
install Office, display the online Getting Results book, or browse the
Office CD. However, you can still perform each of these actions without
using the Autorun feature.=20

NOTE: If you insert the Microsoft Office 97 CD and Microsoft Office 97 =
is
already installed, a window for the CD contents will automatically =
appear
instead of the Autorun running. This behavior differs from that of =
Microsoft
Office 7.0 for Windows. If you insert the Office 7.0 CD and Office 7.0 =
is
already installed, no window appears and nothing happens.=20

WORKAROUND
Although you cannot run the Autorun feature again on the Office CD, you =
can
run Setup, display the Getting Results book, or explore the contents of =
the
CD by doing the following:=20


Insert the Office CD in the CD-ROM drive.=20
Start Windows Explorer.=20

For Office 95, in the All Folders list (left window in Windows =
Explorer),
click the CD-ROM drive, such as (D:).        To do this        Take this
action
       ----------------------------------------------------
       Run Setup         Double-click the Setup icon in the
                         Contents list (right window in
                         Windows Explorer).
  =20
       Display "Getting  Double-click the Cdonline folder in
       Results"          the Contents list (right window in
                         Windows Explorer), and then double-
                         click the Results icon
  =20
       Explore the CD    Double-click the desired folder in
       contents          the Contents list (right window in
                         Windows Explorer).
For Office 97, in the All Folders list (left window in Windows =
Explorer),
click the CD-ROM drive, such as (D:).        To do this        Take this
action
       ----------------------------------------------------
       Run Setup         Double-click the Setup icon in the
                         Contents list (right window in
                         Windows Explorer).
  =20
       Display "Key      Double-click the Office folder in
       information for   the Contents list (right window in
       upgraders and new Windows Explorer), and then double-
       users"            click the of8new.hlp icon.
  =20
       Explore the       Double-click the Valupack folder in
       Office 97         the Contents list (right window in
       Valupack          Windows Explorer), and then double-
