Office 2003 Live!
• Lots of Demos– Live deployment, beginning to end– Starting with nothing but product CDs– Some TV Cookery to avoid long waits!
• Demo configuration– Windows 2003 Server– Windows XP Professional

Caching installation files locally
• Office Source Engine (OSE.exe) is installed as a service when Office 2003 is run– Copies install files to the local PC– Speeds up installation
• LIS can persist after installation
![Page 6: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Setup.exe
• Reads the setup settings file• Determines which drive on the PC has
the most space• Verifies user has Administrative
privileges• Installs ose.exe to :
<Drive with most space>\MsoCache\Downloadcode
• If MsoCache folder already exists, setup uses that location.
![Page 7: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Office Source Engine• OSE.exe copies a single CAB file to the
local PC and extracts the files into a hidden folder.
• This CAB has:– Office package (MSI file)– Files to support upgrades from previous
versions (Offcln.exe, Oclncore.opc, Oclncust.opc, Oclnintl.opc)
– Error reporting tools (DW.exe and Dwintl.dll)– Setup Help
![Page 8: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Office Source Engine con’t…..
• If there is sufficient disk space OSE continues running in the background and caches the entire installation source.
• Setup can be customized to cache only CAB files required for features in your desired package.
• Post install users can (if allowed) install features on demand or run setup in Maintenance mode to add more features.
![Page 9: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LIS Behaviour
• If Windows Installer cannot find files needed in the LIS when adding features in maintenance mode…..
………OSE runs again and copies additional CABs from original source to LIS source
• Additional sources can be specified in the MST or CMW by setting the SOURCELIST property
![Page 10: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LIS Behaviour
• CABs require as much as 240Mb beyond what is needed for Office
• Setup can be configured to delete cache post install
• Keeping local cache helps repairs and updates– Required install files are always available
regardless of network presence
• LIS only supported on Corporate editions
![Page 11: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LIS Options• LIS is a reliable, resilient source on the local PC• The creation and maintenance of LIS is managed
entirely by Office Setup and the OSE, not by Windows Installer.
• The entire source is cached by default• If insufficient disk space only features selected
are cached• Installing from a compressed CD image allows
Setup to create LIS• Compressed image can be copied to physical
media for offline users
![Page 12: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Customize the LIS
• You can modify how Setup handles the LIS by customizing [Cache] section of the Setup.ini– LOCALCACHEDRIVE – a different drive for the local
installation source. – DELETEABLECACHE – Give users option to delete the
local install source at end of setup– CDCACHE – Enable or disable creation of an LIS. This
can:• Cache entire source• Cache installation files for only selected features• Or run install directly from the source and bypass LIS
![Page 13: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Important
• Setup creates the LIS before applying the transform
• You should set the LIS properties in the Setup settings file, and not on the Modify Setup Properties page of the CIW
![Page 14: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Creating the Administrative Share
• Setup /a• Sit and wait• You enter PID, so user doesn’t
• No longer best practice
![Page 15: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Office 2003 Professional CD

• No SPs for Office 2003 yet• Office 2003 SP1 due May (?)
– Contains:• Bug Fixes• Updates for OneNote/InfoPath
![Page 25: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Administrative Share
• Created with SETUP /A• PID Pre-loaded• To install
– Run Pro11.msi from the share
• Generally not recommended– Use Compressed CD Image+MST

Custom Installation Wizard
• Installed with Office Resource Kit Tools
• Creates a .MST Transform• Used to simplify subsequent
deployment• Demo coming!
![Page 33: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When to use a Custom.ini
• Change How LIS is configured– in the [Cache] section
• Chain Windows installer packages like MUI– in the [ChainedInstall_n] section(s)
• Run Setup.exe direct from the install image– no .bat or shortcut
• Set unique settings for chained installs
![Page 34: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Beware
• When using a custom INI file, you can also specify options on the command line
• If a command line option conflicts with an INI value, Setup uses the command line!
![Page 35: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Transforms• Used to:
– Define the local install path– Accept the EULA and enter PID– Define default install state for Applications and
Features (local, network…)– Hide and Lock features– Add custom files and registry entries– Modify shortcuts– Define server locations– Specify other products to install or programs to run post
setup on PC– Configure Outlook– Remove previous versions
![Page 36: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When to Use Transforms
• To make extensive customizations• To make changes not readily made
by using the Setup command line or Setup settings file
• To deliver varying configurations to groups of users using multiple transforms
![Page 37: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Office Profile Settings (OPS)
• The Profile Wizard saves and restores user-defined settings in Office 2003 applications
• Some settings like user name and MRU are excluded from a Profile scan
• Outlook 2003 is also not entirely captured
![Page 38: 5. Installing Office 2003 Applications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568159aa550346895dc70d1e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
OPS Best Practice
1. Use Profile Wizard to create OPS that has default user settings
2. Use CIW to build transform that contains the OPS
3. Install Office 2003 on users PCs with transform
4. Open each Office application on a test PC and set options desired (Tools/ Options)
