Tips
Faster MS Office Setup
The next pain after installing Windows 95/98/NT is the Office setup itself. Office 97 can give you quite a headache with its lengthy installation. Like Windows 95/98, there are several undocumented switches you can use to automate your Office 95/97 setup. We were surprised to know that the entire setup process was sped up by 30% with these switches.
| /K | Enters the CD key /K "12345678" The CD key should not have the dash |
| /Q | 0 - Quiet Install - with Exit screen 1 - No exit screen T - Shows nothing on the screen during install |
| /N | User's Name /N "Name" |
| /O | Organization Name /O "Org" |
| /T | Specify the STF file The default is the SETUP.STF on the root of the Office95 CD. This is an ASCII text file you can copy to a local or network drive, modify the applications you want to install and then point your installation to use that file /T X:\NEW.STF |
| /U | Uninstalls all apps but leaves common files in place |
| /UA | Uninstalls all apps and removes common files |
| /R | ReInstalls previously installed Office95 apps |
To activate the switches, run the setip.exe at the DOS Prompt. The whole command might look something like:
D:\Office\SETUP /K "12345678" /Q1 /N "YOUR_NAME" /O "YOUR_ORGANIZATION" T: C:\NEW.STF
