back to the topHow to install Office on a computer that is running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 with Terminal Services enabledTo install Office on a computer that is running Windows 2000
or Windows Server 2003 Server with Terminal Services enabled, follow these
steps. Note In Windows Server 2003, the everyone user group has to have read rights at the root to successfully start Office programs. (Typically, the root is drive C.) By default, the everyone user group is not allowed to read the content of drive C. - Click Start, point to
Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
- Double-click Add/Remove Programs, click
Add New Programs, and then click CD or
Floppy.
- Click Next.
- Click Browse.
- Locate the root folder of the Office source location,
click Setup.exe, and then click
Open.
Setup.exe is added to the command line that
appears in the Open box of the Run Installation
Program dialog box. - Click Finish to run Office
Setup.
- If requested, type your customer name and product key (CD
key) information in the appropriate boxes, and then click
Next.
Note The Next button is not available until you type
a valid product key. - Accept the End User License Agreement, and then click
Next.
- Specify the location where you want to install Office,
and then click Next.
- On the Choose which applications for setup to
install page, click Next.
If you click
Choose detailed installation options for each application on
the Choose which applications for setup to install page, and
then click Next, the feature tree appears on the
Choose installation options for all Office applications and
tools page. Because Office Setup detects that you are using Terminal
Services, the only installation states that are available are Not
Available and Run from My Computer. By default, some
features are set to Not Available. Do not change the
installation states of these features to Run from My Computer,
because you may experience problems with the Office programs that use
these features.
Warning By default, some features are set to Not
Available to make sure that there is optimum performance in a Terminal
Server environment, including the elimination of unexpected errors. Do not
change the installation states of these features to Run from My Computer.
Note If your Office source location is an administrative
installation, Run from Network is also displayed as an
installation state. - On the Begin installation page, click
Install.
- When you receive a message that the installation completed
successfully, click OK, click Next, and then
click Finish.
