OFF97: How to Configure Setup.stf to Exclude Office AssistantID: Q165725
|
In Microsoft Office 97, it is possible to customize a post-administrative
installation (setup /a) so that when your users run Office 97 Setup, Office
Assistant is not available for installation and none of the Microsoft
Outlook components are installed.
This article explains how to perform this task by editing the Office
Setup .stf file.
WARNING: This modification may not be supported by Microsoft. Microsoft
support professionals will support some modifications to a BACKUP copy of the
Setup.stf file. Note also that while support professionals may help customers
modify specific lines of an STF, we will not rewrite the entire file in
order to achieve a desired configuration. As a general rule, support is
limited to options that can normally be changed by a user during a standard
installation of the application.
NOTE: The following steps work only if you first perform an administrative
installation (setup /a) of Office 97 to a server on your network. If you
are performing a stand-alone installation using the Office 97 compact disc,
you cannot use the steps in this article.
Before you perform the following steps, make a backup copy of the
Off97pro.stf or Off97std.stf file on your server. Rename the file to
Backup.stf and do not open or edit it for any reason.
