The package definition files (SMS format) are used by Microsoft Systems Management Server to install Microsoft Office remotely. The PDF files included in the download above are revised from a previous version included in Orktools.exe. The revised version of the files in the smspdf.exe are necessary for deployments of Office XP onto client computers running the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. You can find this downloadable file on the Office XP Resource Kit Downloads page.

The package definition files have been consolidated into two core files for Office XP: Off2002.SMS, which covers all product suites, and LPK2002.SMS, which covers the Office XP Multilingual User Interface Packs. Office XP supports only Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0.

Install the Package Definition Files

You download the self-extracting executable (EXE) file to your computer and double-click the file name to extract the two PDF files. The installation program will prompt you to specify a location for the files.
