Hi Joe, 

If you do an admin install (setup /a) of the original office to a network
share, it'll always be there if your servers need it ;-). Seriously, it can
make patching, and distributing a patched version of the apps hugely easier.

Regards, 

Rick

Microsoft has a habit of making thing annoying.  Imagine purchasing a suite
of Microsoft productivity software (Office XP, Frontpage, Visio, Publisher,

Project) and for each Service Pack/Hotfix (SP1, SP2, and Post Sp2 hotfixes)
you have to insert each CD. So far I've had to swap through the set 15 times
for a single install.

Slightly thin client related as I'm building a Citrix server... 

1. Have installed win2k 
2. started to install the win2k adminpak.msi (win2k admin tools thingy) 3.
adminpak.msi asks for win2k sp3 4. I insert the win2k cd i installed from in
the firstplace (which includes SP3)! 5. the machine complains that I have
not inserted SP3 6. so, I create new SP3 CD and insert 7. goto 5.

 

The win2k SP3 comes as a self extracting executable, which one of my
collegues extracted into a subdir on a CD... what is probably happening is
that the adminpak.msi is expecting to see the SP3 files in a specific
directory? \i386 I guess...  the adminpak.msi does not allow you to browse
the cd to find the appropriate files...

how annoying is that? does anyone care?  oh well, did you guys watch
schumacher bosch Monza last night?  nice weather were having for this time
of year...etc
