OFF2000: Some Switches and Properties Are Ignored When Using the /j SwitchID: Q217609
|
When you run Office Setup using a command-line that includes the /j switch (/jm or /ju), some command-line properties or switches are ignored. For example, if you use the following command-line to start setup
You will not see the Organization name populated with My Company in the dialog box that appears when you start the first Office program. However, the log file Officelog.txt will be created on the root of the C drive.where <path> is the location of the installation pont.<path>\setup.exe /jm data1.msi companyname="My Company" /le c:\Officelog.txt
When you run setup using the /j switch, there are only a few command-line switches that are applied during setup. The following is a list of the switches that are not ignored when you use the /j switch:
Switch Function ------------------------- /t Used to apply a transform (.mst). /wait Setup.exe waits for Msiexec.exe to complete before terminating. /settings Used to specify an alternative file to the default Setup.ini. /l Used to specify logging options. Must also include a path to the log file. /q Used to run setup in Quiet mode. /autorun Used to indicate that Windows runs Setup automatically when you insert the Office CD into the CD-ROM drive.
