IN THIS TASK
SUMMARY
 * Create an Administrative Installation Point for Office Web Components



SUMMARY
Microsoft Office XP Web Components are a set of Active X controls, including Chart, Spreadsheet, and PivotTable components, that can be used for data analysis and reporting. You can create a separate administrative installation point for Office Web Components, but the procedure differs a little from the one that you use for Office XP. This article describes how to create an administrative installation point to deploy Office Web Components to users on a network.

Create an Administrative Installation Point for Office Web Components
Office XP Web Components are included in the core Office XP package, as well as in the stand-alone editions of Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft FrontPage. A separate Office Web Components package (Owc10.msi) is also included on the Office XP CD-ROM. Customers who want to develop solutions that include Office Web Components before they deploy Office XP can install the Office Web Components package separately.

To create an administrative installation point:
 * 1) At the command prompt, type msiexec.exe /a   owc10.msi shortfilenames=1
 * 2) When you are prompted to do so, type a location for the administrative installation point.
 * 3) Copy the System Files Update from the root of the CD-ROM to the root of the administrative installation point. The System Files Update is located in the Files\Osp\ folder.
 * 4) If you want to customize the Office Web Components installation, modify the Office Web Components Setup.ini file, which is located in the Files\Owc folder. For example, to install Office Web Components silently, set the DISPLAY property to None in the [Options] section of Setup.ini.
