Microsoft® Office XP Setup and Windows Installer use properties to control the Office installation process. You can set properties on the command line, in the Setup settings file (Setup.ini), or on the Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

---

Boolean properties

A number of properties used with Office XP Setup are Boolean properties. Boolean properties are either set or not set; they do not take a specific value. If a Boolean property exists, it is considered set, regardless of the property value. You set a Boolean property by assigning it any value — typically, the value 1 or True.

Example:

setup.exe DONOTMIGRATEUSERSETTINGS=1

On the Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard, you can clear any Boolean property in the default list by selecting the value Clear Property. If you add a Boolean property, you can clear it by assigning it a null string (""); leaving its value blank does not change the existing state of property. On the Setup command line or in Setup.ini, you clear a Boolean property by assigning it a null string ("").

Example:

Setup.exe DONOTMIGRATEUSERSETTINGS=""

ADDDEFAULT

ADDDEFAULT=[string]

Return a set of features to their default installation states, as defined in the original Windows Installer package (MSI file) and transform (MST file). You can specify all, or you can specify a list of feature names separated by commas.

---

 Note    If a feature is advertised by default in the Windows Installer package, then the ADDDEFAULT property sets the feature to the same state as when the user activated the feature for the first time.

---

You use the ADDDEFAULT property only during the initial installation, or if you want to return all features to their default states before using the ADDLOCAL, ADDSOURCE, or ADVERTISE properties.

Examples:

ADDDEFAULT=all
ADDDEFAULT="ASSISTANTClippit,ASSISTANTDot,ASSISTANTRocky"

ADDLOCAL

ADDLOCAL=[string]

Install a set of features to run from the user's computer. You can specify all, or you can specify a list of feature names separated by commas.

Examples:

ADDLOCAL=all
ADDLOCAL="ASSISTANTClippit,ASSISTANTDot,ASSISTANTRocky,EXCELFiles"

ADDSOURCE

ADDSOURCE=[string]

Install a set of features to run from the network server. You can specify all, or you can specify a list of feature names separated by commas.

Examples:

ADDDEFAULT=all
ADDSOURCE="ASSISTANTClippit,ASSISTANTDot,ASSISTANTRocky,EXCELFiles"

ADVERTISE

ADVERTISE=[string]

Advertise a set of features on the user's computer. In this state, features are installed the first time the user attempts to use them. You can specify all, or you can specify a list of feature names separated by commas.

ADVERTISE=all
ADVERTISE="ASSISTANTClippit,ASSISTANTDot,ASSISTANTRocky,EXCELFiles"

ALLUSERS

ALLUSERS=[string]

Install Office for all users of the computer or for only the current user (Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 or later). By default, Windows Installer installs Office for all users of the computer. Setting ALLUSERS to a null value ("") overrides this default behavior and installs Office per user.

Values include the following:

---

 Note   Because only an administrator can install Office, Setup terminates if the user does not have administrative privileges. For Office, setting ALLUSERS to 1 has the same effect as setting it to 2.

---

Example:

ALLUSERS=""

Example:

ERRORSUPPORTTEXT_ADMIN_DEFAULT_PROBLEM="If problem persists, contact your Information Technology department for assistance."

IESETUPLOCATION

IESETUPLOCATION=[string]

Specify the path to Internet Explorer 5.01 Setup.exe; equivalent to the File name and path of Internet Explorer 5 Setup box on the Customize Internet Explorer 5 Installation Options page of the Custom Installation Wizard. Office Setup uses this path to locate IE5Setup.exe during the installation.

The default value for IESETUPLOCATION is the file name and path to Ie5setup.exe relative to the OSP folder on the administrative installation point. Using a relative path allows you to replicate the administrative installation point to additional servers and maintain a valid path to IE5Setup.exe.

Example:

IESETUPLOCATION=".\IE5\En\IE5setup.exe"

---

 Note    Office Setup passes this property to Internet Explorer 5.01 Setup during the System Files Update portion of the Office installation, which occurs only on computers running under Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0.

---

InstallDesktopUpdate

InstallDesktopUpdate=[string]

Specify whether to install the Windows Desktop Update, which provides support for Windows Installer shortcuts on computers running under Windows NT 4.0. Support for Windows Installer shortcuts also requires Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 or later with Active Desktop installed.

You cannot set this property (or other properties shown in mixed-case letters) on the Setup command line or in the Setup settings file. You can set the InstallDesktopUpdate property only on the Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard when you create a transform for the System Files Update package (Osp.msi).

Valid values for InstallDesktopUpdate are:

• Do not install the Windows Desktop Update (default)
  
• Install the Windows Desktop Update

Example:

InstallDesktopUpdate="Install the Windows Desktop Update"

---

 Note    Office Setup passes this property to Internet Explorer 5.01 Setup during the System Files Update portion of the Office installation, which occurs only on computers running under Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0.

---

For more information, see Tasks Handled by Setup.

INSTALLLOCATION

INSTALLLOCATION=[string]

Specify the installation location for Office XP. On the Setup command line or in the Setup settings file (Setup.ini), you must use an absolute path. On the Specify Default Path and Organization page or Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard, you can specify a path relative to a predefined folder. A value set on the command line or in Setup.ini overrides the value set in a transform.

---

 Note    Unlike previous versions, Office XP is installed in a version-specific folder. If you choose to keep a previous version of Office on the computer, you can specify the same location without overwriting any files.

---

Example:

INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\MyApp"

For a list of predefined folders, see the topic “Keywords for Specifying a Predefined Path” in the Custom Installation Wizard Help file (Custom10.hlp).

LIMITUI

LIMITUI=[boolean]

Disable interactive Setup user interface; equivalent to using the /qb command-line option or setting the Display property to Basic in the Setup settings file. When the LIMITUI property is set, Setup ignores the /qf and /qr command-line options and the Display=Full and Display=Reduced property settings.

Setting the LIMITUI property on the Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard does not affect the initial installation; however, it disables the Setup user interface only when Setup runs in maintenance mode after the initial installation.

---

 Tip   You can use the LIMITUI and ARPNOMODIFY properties together to prevent users from running Setup after Office is installed or making any changes to the installation.

---

Example:

LIMITUI=1 ARPNOMODIFY=1

See also: ARPNOMODIFY

NOCANCEL

NOCANCEL=[boolean]

Remove the Cancel button from all dialog boxes displayed during Setup.

Example:

NOCANCEL=1

NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION

NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION=[boolean]

Disable default feature installation state migration for the Office package. When you upgrade to Office XP, Setup detects and matches feature installation states from the previous version. Setting the NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION property overrides this default behavior.

---

 Note    You can also override default installation state migration on a per-feature basis on the Set Feature Installation States page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

---

Example:

NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION=1

For more information, see Customizing Office Features and Shortcuts.

NOIE

NOIE=[string]

Prevent installation of Internet Explorer 5.01 when Office is installed. Setting NOIE to True is equivalent to selecting the Do not install Internet Explorer 5 option on the Customize Internet Explorer 5 Installation Options page of the Custom Installation Wizard. When NOIE is set to True, then Setup does not install or give the user the option to install Internet Explorer 5.01.

Example:

NOIE=True

---

 Note    Office Setup passes this property to Internet Explorer 5.01 Setup during the System Files Update portion of the Office installation, which occurs only on computers running under Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0.

---

For more information, see Tasks Handled by Setup.

NOUSERNAME

NOUSERNAME=[boolean]

Prevent Setup from defining a user name during a quiet installation. Setting the NOUSERNAME property allows users to enter their own user names the first time they run an Office application. Set this property when you install Office on a computer from which you plan to create a hard-disk image.

Example:

NOUSERNAME=1

For more information, see Distributing Office to Users' Computers.

OPCREMOVAL

OPCREMOVAL=[string]

Prevent Setup from removing previous versions of Office during the installation or performing any other clean-up tasks. To turn default removal behavior back on, you must set OPCREMOVAL to On. Any other value turns the property off, as shown in the following examples.

Examples:

OPCREMOVAL=Off
OPCREMOVAL=0

---

 Note    Turning off the OPCREMOVAL property is not the same as selecting the option Remove the following versions of Microsoft Office applications on the Remove Previous Versions page of the Custom Installation Wizard and then clearing all the check boxes. Even with all the check boxes cleared, Setup performs some general cleanup operations. If this property is turned off, however, Setup does not perform any cleanup.

---

For more information, see Customizing Removal Behavior.

OUTLOOKASDEFAULTCALENDARAPP

OUTLOOKASDEFAULTCALENDARAPP=[string]

Specify whether Outlook is the default calendar application. Valid values include the following:

For more information, see Customizing How Setup Runs.

RUNFROMSOURCETEXT

RUNFROMSOURCETEXT=[string]

Customize the text displayed by Setup for the Run from Source option. The following example shows the default value in the English version of Office.

Example:

RUNFROMSOURCETEXT="Run From N&etwork"

---

 Note    The ampersand (&) indicates which character in the string is to be used as the access key for the button. Pressing down both the access key and the ALT key selects the option.

---

For more information, see Customizing How Setup Runs.

SETUPDW

SETUPDW=[string]

Set or disable Setup error reporting (DW.exe). Set the SETUPDW property to 0 to prevent DW.exe from reporting installation errors to Microsoft; set it to 1 to collect information about Setup failures and send the data to Microsoft. This property affects only Setup error reporting, and has no effect on application crash reporting.

---

 Note    The SETUPDW property is set to 0 by default when you create an administrative installation point.

---

Example:

SETUPDW=0

For more information, see Customizing How Setup Runs.

SKIPCHECKBOXDIALOG

SKIPCHECKBOXDIALOG=[string]

Do not display the Choose which applications for setup to install dialog box during Setup. Setup displays this dialog box when users select the Custom installation option. Setting the SKIPCHECKBOXDIALOG property to 1 prevents users from selecting installation options for themselves.

Example:

SKIPCHECKBOXDIALOG=1

SKIPIEDIALOG

SKIPIEDIALOG=[string]

Hide the Internet Explorer 5.01 installation page during Office Setup. Setting SKIPIEDIALOG to True is equivalent to selecting the Do not prompt the user to install Internet Explorer 5 during Microsoft Office Setup option on the Customize Internet Explorer 5 Installation Options page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

Example:

SKIPIEDIALOG=True

---

 Note    Office Setup passes this property to Internet Explorer 5.01 Setup during the System Files Update portion of the Office installation, which occurs only on computers running under Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0.

---

SKIPREMOVEPREVIOUSDIALOG

SKIPREMOVEPREVIOUSDIALOG=[string]

Do not display the Remove Previous Versions dialog box during Setup. The Custom Installation Wizard sets this property to 1 when you select the Remove the following versions of Microsoft Office applications option on the Remove Previous Versions page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

SOURCELIST

SOURCELIST=[string]

Specify additional network servers to use when the primary Office administrative installation point is unavailable; equivalent to the list specified on the Identify Additional Servers page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

After Office is installed, Windows Installer continues to reference the administrative installation point for installing on demand, repairing features, or running Setup in maintenance mode. Copying the original administrative image to back-up servers helps ensure that users always have access to a network source.

---

 Note    Separate a list of server shares with semicolons. Use a drive letter only if the drive is part of a standard drive scheme used throughout the organization.

---

Example:

SOURCELIST="\\backup1\office10;\\backup2\office10"

For more information, see Distributing Office to Users' Computers.

StrContactInfo

StrContactInfo=[string]

Provide contact information for technical support when Setup displays an error message; applies only to errors displayed by Setup.exe.

---

 Note    You cannot set this property (or other properties shown in mixed-case letters) on the Setup command line or in the Setup settings file. You can set the StrContactInfo property only on the Modify Setup Properties page of the Custom Installation Wizard.

---

Example:

Enter the value "For help with this error, please contact Help Desk at ext. 1000."

TARGETDIR=[string]

Specify the location where the Office package is copied during an administrative installation; used only when running Setup with the /a command-line option.

Example:

TARGETDIR="\\server\share\OfficeXPAIP"

TRANSFORMS

TRANSFORMS=[string]

Specify a transform to apply to the installation; use only on the Setup command line. The TRANSFORMS property is equivalent to the Transform (MST file) to apply during installation option in the Setup INI Customization Wizard. The value can be a path relative to the folder that contains Setup.exe, an absolute path, or an environment variable.

You cannot use the TRANSFORMS property in the Setup settings file to specify a transform for the Office XP package or any chained packages. However, you do use the TRANSFORMS property in the [SystemPackOptions] section of Setup.ini to specify a transform to apply to the System Files Update package.

---

 Note    Note If you misspell the TRANSFORMS option on the command line as TRANSFORM (singular), then Setup returns an error. However, if you enter TRANSFORM= in the [SystemPackOptions] section of Setup.ini, then the incorrect option is passed to Windows Installer and your transform is not applied. No error is displayed. Entering CMDLNE=TRANSFORM= in the [ChainedInstall_n] section results in the same failure. You can avoid this error by using the Setup INI Customization Wizard to specify a transform for the System Files Update or a chained package.

---

Example:

TRANSFORMS="\\server\share\OfficeXPAIP\Custom.mst"

For more information, see Customizing the Office Installation.

TRANSFORMSSECURE

TRANSFORMSSECURE=[boolean]

Cache the transform on the local computer in a location where the user does not have write access, and apply the transform only if the MST file is located at the root of the administrative installation point (that is, in the same folder as the MSI file). The TRANSFORMSSECURE property applies to the package regardless of the user; it helps provide security-enhanced transform storage for traveling users under Windows 2000.

Example:

TRANSFORMSSECURE=1

TYPICALINSTALLDESCRIPTION

TYPICALINSTALLDESCRIPTION=[string]

Customize the text displayed by Setup to describe the Typical installation option. The following example shows the default value in the English version of Office.
