OFF2000: Public Properties That Can Be Used on the Setup Command Line

Относится к
This article was previously published under Q270920

SUMMARY

The Office Setup program accepts a number of optional command-line properties that you can use to control how the Setup program operates. This article lists the properties and describes the functionality of each property.

For more information about these properties and their possible settings, see the "References" section of this article.

For a list of command-line switches, please see the following Knowledge Base article:

202946 OFF2000: Setup Command-Line Switches for Office 2000

WARNING: The properties in this article have not all been tested with Office 2000 and may not work with Office 2000. Also, some properties may be specific to a particular operating system. For example, a property may work for Microsoft Windows 2000 but not for Microsoft Windows 98.

MORE INFORMATION

Important Notes:
  • Some of the following properties are Windows Installer properties for all Windows Installer products and may not work with Office 2000.
  • Usually, if you specify the same Setup options but use different values in the Setup command line, settings file, or transform, Setup uses the following rules to determine which settings to use:

    • If you set an option in the Office Custom Installation Wizard that corresponds to a Setup property, the wizard sets the corresponding property automatically in the MST file.
    • If you modify a Setup property in the Modify Setup Properties pane of the Custom Installation Wizard, this setting overrides any corresponding options that you set in previous panes of the wizard. Your modified Setup property is written to the MST file.
    • If you set options, including Setup properties, in the settings file that conflict with options in the transform, the values in the settings file take precedence.
    • If you set options on the command line, those settings take precedence over any conflicting values in either the settings file or the transform.
