SUMMARY
If you want to customize the functionality of Office 2000 in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, you can specify one or more command-line properties when you install Office.

The &quot;More Information&quot; section of this article lists the properties that can be used in this situation.



MORE INFORMATION
The following table outlines several Windows Installer properties that you can use to customize the way Office 2000 is controlled by Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Property             Details ---

ARPNOMODIFY          Turning on the ARPNOMODIFY property turns off the functionality in the Add/Remove Programs control panel that modifies your Office installation.

If you are using Microsoft Windows 2000, this property turns off the Change button for Office in                     Add/Remove Programs.

If you are using Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or                     Windows NT 4.0, clicking Add/Remove uninstalls Office rather than starting the Maintenance Mode Wizard. NOTE: You are prompted to confirm whether you want to uninstall the product first.

To turn on the ARPNOMODIFY property, run Setup with a                     command line similar to the following:

\Setup.exe ARPNOMODIFY=1

where is the full path to your Office source files.

If the ARPNOMODIFY property is turned on, the DWORD value &quot;NoModify&quot; is written, with a value 1, under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ where  is the 32-character alphanumeric string that varies according to your edition of Office.

NOTE: If you run Setup using Setup.exe from your Office source files, Maintenance Mode Setup starts, with options to Remove Office, Repair Office, or Add/Remove Office features.

ARPNOREMOVE          Turning on the ARPNOREMOVE property turns off the functionality in the Add/Remove Programs control panel that removes your Office installation.

If you are using Windows 2000, this turns off the Remove button for the product from the Add/Remove Programs control panel. However, if you click Change, Maintenance Mode Setup for Office starts, and you can click Remove Office. If you want to prevent this from occurring, make sure to turn on                      both the ARPNOMODIFY and the ARPNOREMOVE properties.

If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0, Office is not displayed in the list of installed products in the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

To turn on the ARPNOREMOVE property, run Setup with a                     command line similar to the following:

\Setup.exe ARPNOREMOVE=1

where is the full path to your Office source files.

If the ARPNOREMOVE property is turned on, the DWORD value &quot;NoRemove&quot; is written, with a value 1, under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ where  is the 32-character alphanumeric string that varies according to your edition of Office.

NOTE: If you run Setup using Setup.exe from your Office source files, Maintenance Mode Setup starts, with options to Remove Office, Repair Office, or Add/Remove Office features.

ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT   Turning on the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property prevents Office from being displayed in the Add/Remove programs list in Windows 2000.

If the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property is turned on, the DWORD value &quot;SystemComponent&quot; is written, with a                      value 1, under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ where  is the 32-character alphanumeric string that varies according to your edition of Office.

To turn on the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property, run Setup with a command line similar to the following:

\Setup.exe ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1

where is the full path to your Office source files.

This property has no effect on Office if you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0.

NOTE: If you run Setup using Setup.exe from your Office source files, Maintenance Mode Setup starts, with options to Remove Office, Repair Office, or Add/Remove Office features.

LIMITUI              Turns off interactive Setup during the installation of Office. Setting this property to 1 is equivalent to using the /qb Setup command-line option or the Display=Basic value in the Setup.ini file.

To turn on the LIMITUI property, run Setup with a                      command line similar to the following:

\Setup.exe LIMITUI=1

where is the full path to your Office source files.

NOTE: If you set this property in a transform instead of on the command line, when you run Setup, a reinstallation may be performed, running quietly as if you had used the /qb command-line option. Under Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT                     4.0, this is true whether you run Setup from Setup.exe or you use the Add/Remove Programs control panel. On Windows 2000, this quiet reinstallation is                      performed if you run Setup.exe or if you click Change in the Add/Remove Programs control panel. However, if you click Remove in the Add/Remove Programs control panel, Office will be uninstalled.

If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 and you applied the LIMITUI property in a                      transform, to uninstall Office you must use a                       command line similar to the following:

\Setup.exe /x
